824 is a leg in a few Pythagorean triples:
- 618-824-1030 because that is 206 times (3-4-5)
- 824-1545-1751 because that is 103 times (8-15-17)
- 824-10593-10625 because 2(103)(4) = 824
- 824-21210-21226 because 105² – 101² = 824
- 824-42432-42440 because 2(206)(2) = 824
- 824-84870-84874 because 207² – 205² = 824
- Primitive 824-169743-169745 because 2(412)(1) = 824
Five of those triples were derived directly from 824’s factor pairs.
Two of the triples were derived indirectly:
- What is (105+101)/2, (105-101)/2?
- Also, what is (207+205)/2, (207+205)/2?
The answer to both questions is a factor pair of 824.

- 824 is a composite number.
- Prime factorization: 824 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 103, which can be written 824 = 2³ × 103
- The exponents in the prime factorization are 3 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (3 + 1)(1 + 1) = 4 × 2 = 8. Therefore 824 has exactly 8 factors.
- Factors of 824: 1, 2, 4, 8, 103, 206, 412, 824
- Factor pairs: 824 = 1 × 824, 2 × 412, 4 × 206, or 8 × 103
- Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √824 = (√4)(√206) = 2√206 ≈ 28.7054
