Problem Statement

For a positive integer nn, let denote CnC_n the figure formed by the inside and perimeter of the circle with center the origin, radius nn on the xx-yy plane.
Denote by N(n)N(n) the number of a unit square such that all of unit square, whose x, yx,\ y coordinates of 4 vertices are integers, and the vertices are included in CnC_n.
Prove that limnN(n)n2=π\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{N(n)}{n^2}=\pi.
