D40D_{40}, the symmetries of a regular 4040-gon, has order 8080. Its Sylow 22-subgroups have order 1616, generated by the rotations through multiples of 11.25∘11.25^\circ (40/840/8 of a full turn) together with the reflections through those same axes. How many Sylow 22-subgroups does D40D_{40} have?
