629 is the sum of the 17 prime numbers from 7 to 71. Both of its prime factors, 17 and 37, are included in that list.
17 and 37 are both 10 numbers away from their average, 27. That means that 629 + 10² = 729 or 27².
25² + 2² = 629 and 23² + 10² = 629. Notice that 629 plus or minus 100 is a square number.
Both of 629’s prime factors have a remainder of one when divided by four so 629 is the hypotenuse of four Pythagorean triples, two of which are primitives.
- 100-621-629, a primitive that reminds me of another primitive, 20-21-29
- 204-595-629, three numbers whose greatest common factor is 17
- 296-555-629, three numbers whose greatest common factor is 37
- 429-460-629, a primitive whose shorter leg is exactly 200 less than its hypotenuse.
