A divisor $ d $ satisfies $ d \equiv 1 \pmod{4} $ if it is odd (so $ d $ not divisible by 2) and $ d \equiv 1 \pmod{4} $. So restrict to odd divisors. Since $ d $ must be odd, we ignore the power of 2. So consider only divisors of $ 3^2 \cdot 5 = 45 $.
["Understanding Divisors $ d \equiv 1 \pmod{4} $: A Focus on the Odd Divisors of 45", "When studying number theory, divisors congruent to 1 modulo 4 are of particular interest due to their structural significance.
