A Rabbit ate the Carrots (Posted on 2005-02-05) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Find the common theme with all these numbers. ( Except for the fact that all of them are wrong )

242 + 32 = 450
252 + 567 = 1575
507 + 147 = 1200
1805 + 20 = 2205
570312 + 19208 = 798848

It has to do with the dividers of each number.
All of the numbers have at least one square:
Example 570312 = 2^3 x 3^2 x 89^2
             19208 = 2^3 x 7^4
             798848 = 2^7 x 79^2

If you take all the squares away, it would read:
2 + 2 = 2
This goes for all lines of the problem

Edited to explain the title:
The rabbit ate all the (square) roots
