Total numbers from to , .
Let be the set of perfect squares from to :
The perfect squares are (since and ).
So, .

Let be the set of multiples of from to :



So, .

Let be the set of numbers that are both perfect squares and multiples of .
For a perfect square to be a multiple of , it must be a multiple of in its base, meaning it must be a multiple of .
Perfect squares that are multiples of up to are:
()
()
(The next one is )
So, .
