- 769 is a prime number.
- Prime factorization: 769 is prime.
- The exponent of prime number 769 is 1. Adding 1 to that exponent we get (1 + 1) = 2. Therefore 769 has exactly 2 factors.
- Factors of 769: 1, 769
- Factor pairs: 769 = 1 x 769
- 769 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √769 ≈ 27.730849.
How do we know that 769 is a prime number? If 769 were not a prime number, then it would be divisible by at least one prime number less than or equal to √769 ≈ 27.7. Since 769 cannot be divided evenly by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, or 23, we know that 769 is a prime number.

Here’s more about prime number 769:
25² + 12² = 769, and 769 is the hypotenuse of primitive Pythagorean triple 481-600-769 which was calculated from 25² – 12², 2(25)(12), 25² + 12².
Thus 481² + 600² = 769².
769 is also the sum of three squares five different ways.
- 27² + 6² + 2² = 769
- 24² + 12² + 7² = 769
- 21² + 18² + 2² = 769
- 20² + 15² + 12² = 769
- 18² + 18² + 11² = 769
769 is palindrome 181 in BASE 24; note that 1(24²) + 8(24) + 1(1) = 769.
Here’s another way we know that 769 is a prime number: Since its last two digits divided by 4 leave a remainder of 1, and 25² + 12² = 769 with 25 and 12 having no common prime factors, 769 will be prime unless it is divisible by a prime number Pythagorean hypotenuse less than or equal to √769 ≈ 27.7. Since 769 is not divisible by 5, 13, or 17, we know that 769 is a prime number.
