The factors of 360 are:
1,+2,+3, 4, 5,+6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45,+60, 72,+90, 120, 180,+360
multiples of 4 up to 360 are:
4, 8,+12,+16,+20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40,60,72,120,360

-------------
I don't think there's a way to calculate that.
Just list them and count them.

            The solution by  @MathLover1 is incorrect.

            Her answer  " 14 "  is not correct.

            The numbers  16  and  32  of her list are not divisors of  360.

            I came to bring the correct solution.


360 = 4*90 = 8*45 = 8*3^2*5 = 4*(2*3^2*5).


All divisors of 360, that are multiples of 4, are the numbers of the primary decomposition  2%5Em%2A3%5En%2A5%5Ek,

where indexes m, n and k  vary independently in their ranges


    m = 0, 1     (two values)

    n = 0, 1, 2  (three values)

    k = 0, 1     (two values).


THEREFORE, the number of all positive divisors of 360, that are multiples of 4 is  2*3*2 = 12.    ANSWER

Solved.
