    8 positive integers.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    One value of n would be 15 because 225 = 15^2.

    Other values are 225 * n where 15n < = 1000 and n is a perfect square.

    So n = 4 gives us 225 * 4 = 900 which is a perfect square and 15*4 = 60.

    n = 9 gives us 225 * 9 which is a perfect square and 15*9 = 135.

    n = 16 gives us 225*16 and 15*16 = 240, so OK.

    n = 25 gives a perfect square and and 15*25 = 375 - so OK.

    n = 36 gives a perfect square and 15*36 = 540 - so OK.

    n = 49 gives a perfect square and 15*49 = 735 - so OK.

    n = 64 gives a perfect square and 15*64 = 960 - so ok.

    n = 81 gives a perfect square and 15 * 81 = 1215 so NOT ok.
