How to find the number of squares between a range of numbers that are also divisible by $ 12 $?
$begingroup$
I know to find all numbers divisible by $ 12 $ between a range of numbers is something like:
$$ frac{x}{12} - frac{y}{12} + 1, quad text{where} x>y .$$
And to find the number of squares would be:
$$left lfloor{sqrt{y}} rightrfloor- left lceil {sqrt{x}} right rceil + 1$$
Is there some way to calculate the number of numbers that has both qualities?

To be a square divisible by $12$ a number needs to be divisible by $36$ because you need an even number of factors of $3$. The square root then needs to be divisible by $6$. So find the number of numbers divisible by $6$ between $lceil sqrt x rceil$ and $lfloor sqrt yrfloor$ inclusive
