Here are a few facts about the number 1332:

• 1332 is a composite number.
• Prime factorization: 1332 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 37, which can be written 1332 = 2² × 3² × 37
• The exponents in the prime factorization are 2, 2 and 1. Adding one to each and multiplying we get (2 + 1)(2 + 1)(1 + 1) = 3 × 3 × 2 = 18. Therefore 1332 has exactly 18 factors.
• Factors of 1332: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 37, 74, 111, 148, 222, 333, 444, 666, 1332
• Factor pairs: 1332 = 1 × 1332, 2 × 666, 3 × 444, 4 × 333, 6 × 222, 9 × 148, 12 × 111, 18 × 74 or 36 × 37
• Taking the factor pair with the largest square number factor, we get √1332 = (√36)(√37) = 6√37 ≈ 36.49658

Since 36 × 37 = 1332, we know that 1332 is the sum of the first 36 even numbers. (The first 36 numbers add up to the infamous 666, and 2 times 666 is 1332.)

Because 1332 is divisible by both 3 and 37, it has several repdigits as factors, 111, 222, 333, 444, and 666.

1332 is the sum of four consecutive prime numbers:
317 + 331 + 337 + 347 = 1332

1332 is the sum of two square numbers:
36² + 6² = 1332

1332 is the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
432-1260-1332 which is 36 times (12-35-37)
It can also be calculated from 2(36)(6), 36² – 6², 36² + 6²
