Apr 27, 2015 at 12:18 comment added user9072 @JosephO'Rourke the problem of estimating this is known as Dirichlet divisor problem and there are better estimates than what I gave. See mathworld.wolfram.com/DirichletDivisorProblem.html for an overview. I think the extual error term should be only slightly larger than a fourth root of $C$, what is known is order $C^a$ with $a=131/416$. I do not know right now what is known regarding the implied constants. For the weak error term I give $6$ would work IIRC.
Apr 27, 2015 at 12:00 comment added Joseph O'Rourke Another data point for $C=50$: $9.1$%. Your formulas predict about $9.2$%. May I ask: What are you estimating for the $O(\sqrt{C})$ term?

changed notation on comment
