Now I’ll write a little bit about the number 1222:

• 1222 is a composite number.
• Prime factorization: 1222 = 2 × 13 × 47
• The exponents in the prime factorization are 1, 1, and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (1 + 1)(1 + 1)(1 + 1) = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8. Therefore 1222 has exactly 8 factors.
• Factors of 1222: 1, 2, 13, 26, 47, 94, 611, 1222
• Factor pairs: 1222 = 1 × 1222, 2 × 611, 13 × 94, or 26 × 47
• 1222 has no square factors that allow its square root to be simplified. √1222 ≈ 34.95712

1222 is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
470-1128-1222 which is (5-12-13) times 94
