Any k-by-k square where k is even. This is because we can divide up the k by k square into 2x2 squares, and if k is odd, this cannot possibly be done. Hence, find the number of 2x2, 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 squares contained within the 8x8 square and add them (there should be a pattern). \n" ); document.write( "
