Here’s some more information about the number 782:
OEIS.org informs us that the sum of the factors of 782 is not only a perfect square number but also a perfect 4th power.
Specifically, 1 + 2 + 17 + 23 + 34 + 46 + 391 + 782 = 1296, which happens to be 6^4.
23 is one of the factors of 782, and here are three interesting number facts about the number 782 that involve the number 23:
- 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30 + 31 + 32 + 33 + 34 + 35 + 36 + 37 + 38 + 39 + 40 + 41 + 42 + 43 + 44 + 45 = 782. (That’s 23 consecutive numbers beginning with the number 23.)
- 782 is the 23rd pentagonal number because 23(3⋅23 – 1)/2 = 782.
- 782 is palindrome NN in BASE 33. (N is 23 base 10.) Note that 23(33) + 23(1) = 782
Because 17 is one of its factors, 782 is the hypotenuse of Pythagorean triple 368-690-782.
Thus, 368² + 690² = 782².
Also since 17 x 46 = 782, the greatest common factor of 368, 690 and 782 is 46.
782 is also the sum of three squares six different ways:
- 27² + 7² + 2² = 782
- 26² + 9² + 5² = 782
- 25² + 11² + 6² = 782
- 22² + 17² + 3² = 782
- 19² + 15² + 14² = 782
- 18² + 17² + 13² = 782
