I need to count the number of triangles formed in a grid of $n\times n$ with positive integer coordinates $(0..n)$. For example for $n = 1$ the answer is 4.

    I think exact formula may be very hard. The problem is dealing with lines that pass through $3$ or more lattice points. This is sensitive to number-theoretic properties of $n$.2012-05-31

    Calculate it for some small values of $n$, and look it up in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.2012-05-31

    @Qiaochu, I have read that in France, zero is considered to be positive.2012-05-31
