What else can I tell you about the number 705?

Because 5 is one of its factors, 705 is the hypotenuse of the Pythagorean triple 423-564-705. What is the greatest common factor of those three numbers?

705 is the sum of consecutive numbers several different ways:

  • 352 + 353 = 705; (2 consecutive numbers)
  • 234 + 235 + 236 = 705; (3 consecutive numbers)
  • 139 + 140 + 141 + 142 + 143 = 705; (5 consecutive numbers)
  • 40 + 41 + 42 + 43 + 44 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 48 + 49 + 50 + 51 + 52 + 53 + 54 = 705; (15 consecutive numbers)

705 is palindrome 1A1 in base 22; note that A is equivalent to 10 base 10, 22² = 484, and 1(484) + 10(22) + 1(1) = 705.
