Problem
How many positive perfect squares less than are divisible by
?
Solution 2 (slightly refined)
Since , there are
perfect squares less than 2023.
~not_slay
Solution 3
Since is prime, each solution must be divisible by
. We take
and see that there are
positive perfect squares no greater than
.

Solution 4

Solution 5 (Under 10 seconds, ignore the first paragraph)
The original way of BlueShardow
Since the perfect squares have to be divisible by 5, then we know it has to be 5 times some number squared (5*x)^2. With this information, you can fique out every single product of 5 and another number squared to count how many perfect squares are divisible by 5 that are less than 2023. (EX: 5^2 = 25, 10^2 = 100, ... 40^2 = 1600) With this you get a max of 40^2, or solutions. PLEASE DO NOT do this problem this way, it takes way too much time.
~BlueShardow
The way of BlueShardow refined:
All it takes is to recall that 45 squared is 2025, and 45 is 5 x 9. So all the squares of 5 x 1, 5 x 2, 5 x 3 so on are divisible by 5. So the answer is 8. It can be done even if one does not remember that 45 squared is 2025, all it takes is intuition. One can easily see mentally that 5 x 8 that is 40 squared is 1600, and then one has to do just one more computation and see that 5 x 9 that is 45 squared exceeds 2023, so the answer is 8. BlueShardow's method is the best but he did not realize it.
