Problem

How many positive perfect squares less than $10^6$ are multiples of $24$?

Solution

The prime factorization of $24 = 2^33$; thus each square must be the square of a number which has 2 factors of $2$ and 1 factor of $3$ (must be a multiple of $2^23 = 12$). There are $\frac{996-12}{12} + 1 = 083$ solutions.
