Here is a little information about the number 1077:

It was difficult finding something unique about 1077, so I’m writing about a few things that I don’t usually mention:

1077 can be written as the difference of two squares two different ways:
539² – 538² = 1077
181² – 178² = 1077

1077 is the sum of two consecutive numbers 538 + 539 = 1077
1077 is the sum of three consecutive numbers 358 + 359 + 360
1077 is also the sum of three consecutive odd numbers 357-359-361

1077 is a leg in four Pythagorean triples:
1077-1436-1795 which is (3-4-5) times 359,
1077-193320-193323 which is 3 times (359-64440-64441),
1077-64436-64445 calculated from 181² – 178², 2(181)(178), 181² + 178², and
1077-579964-579965 calculated from 539² – 538², 2(539)(538), 539² + 538²
