This is why 364 is a TETRAHEDRAL number.
364 is an easy tetrahedral number to remember because it is one less than the number of days in a year. It is the ridiculous sum total number of all the birds, rings, maids, dancers, and musicians given over the twelve days of Christmas.
One of 364’s factor pairs is also easy to remember: 7 × 52 = 364. There are 7 days in a week and 52 weeks in a year . . . or rather in a year minus one day.
364 is in this cool pattern:

- 364 is a composite number.
- Prime factorization: 364 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 13, which can be written 364 = (2^2) x 7 x 13
- The exponents in the prime factorization are 2, 1, and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 x 2 x 2 = 12. Therefore 364 has exactly 12 factors.
- Factors of 364: 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 52, 91, 182, 364
- Factor pairs: 364 = 1 x 364, 2 x 182, 4 x 91, 7 x 52, 13 x 28, or 14 x 26
- Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √364 = (√4)(√91) = 2√91 ≈ 19.079
