Ethernet Cable Square Count

Requirements

• Input consists of a collection of grid-dimension requests written as (rows, columns).
• For each request, determine the number of square subgrids across every allowable side size a, with 1 <= a <= min(rows, columns).
• Produce a single total for each request.

Examples

query = [4, 2]
1 x 1 squares: 4 * 2 = 8
2 x 2 squares: 3 * 1 = 3
return 8 + 3 = 11

rows = 4
columns = 2

11

The total is 11 because the grid contains 8 unit squares and 3 squares with side length 2.
