Let nn be a positive odd integer greater than 2 , and consider a regular nn-gon G\mathcal{G} in the plane centered at the origin. Let a subpolygon G′\mathcal{G}^{\prime} be a polygon with at least 3 vertices whose vertex set is a subset of that of G\mathcal{G}. Say G′\mathcal{G}^{\prime} is well-centered if its centroid is the origin. Also, say G′\mathcal{G}^{\prime} is decomposable if its vertex set can be written as the disjoint union of regular polygons with at least 3 vertices. Show that all well-centered subpolygons are decomposable if and only if nn has at most two distinct prime divisors.
