"Count the number of multiples of LCM that evenly divides the GCD." is the same as "Cound the divisors of (GCD/LCM)"
This will make the loop much easier.
Also notice that if (GCD/LCM) is not in integer, the result is 0.
your modification to the above said approach will give wrong answer. as all mulitples of lcm will not evenly divide the gcd. so you will have to check each multiple individually.

why not
instead of
? Otherwise a very nice solution :)

How exactly is one different from the other?
My approach was as follows:

Another suggestion to reduce the number of loop iterations
then double the count and add 1 if i*i==l
For the problem's testcase (f=4, l=16), won't your loop give count as 1 ?
why is it i*i?
because the value of i will be getting doubled for getting next factor easily.
i can only be multiples of lcm(a), that is why j starts at 2 and increases
