# --description--

|
|
|
By counting carefully it can be seen that a rectangular grid measuring 3 by 2 contains eighteen rectangles:

|
|
|
|
Although there exists no rectangular grid that contains exactly two million rectangles, find the area of the grid with the nearest solution.

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`countingRectangles()` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof countingRectangles() === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`countingRectangles()` should return 2772.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(countingRectangles(), 2772);
|
|
```
