Find all continuously differentiable functions f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} such that for every rational number qq, the number f(q)f(q) is rational and has the same denominator as qq. (The denominator of a rational number qq is the unique positive integer bb such that q=a/bq = a/b for some integer aa with gcd(a,b)=1\mathrm{gcd}(a,b) = 1.) (Note: gcd means greatest common divisor.)
