....without regard to order:

One should count pairs  e.g.    20*27, is one pair - not two.

Still I like your approach, just discount the 540,540 pair ,divide by 2 to get an a<b pair then add  the symmetric pair and you get  53.

- which I believe is the correct answer.

I got 52 and  do not have the time to find where is the miss.
