Manny Climbs a Skyscraper

Manny is climbing to the top of skyscraper, starting from the ground floor (Floor #1). There are 12 steps between each floor. When he reaches the landing for the n^th floor, the number of floors he has left to climb is equal to a quarter of the number of steps he's already climbed. When he reaches the landing for the k^th floor, the number of floors he has left to climb is equal to one sixth the number of steps he's already climbed.
