Problem
How many positive even multiples of 
less than 
are perfect squares?
Solution
Any even multiple of is a multiple of 
, so we need to find multiples of that are perfect squares and less than . Any solution that we want will be in the form 
, where 
is a positive integer. The smallest possible value is at 
, and the largest is at 
(where the expression equals 
). Therefore, there are a total of 
possible numbers.-PCChess
