  • 377 + 378 = 755; that’s 2 consecutive numbers.
  • 149 + 150 + 151 + 152 + 153 = 755; that’s 5 consecutive numbers.
  • 71 + 72 + 73 + 74 + 75 + 76 + 77 + 78 + 79 + 80 = 755; that’s 10 consecutive numbers.

Because 5 is one of its factors, 755 is the hypotenuse of Pythagorean triple 453-604-755.

755 is the sum of three squares six different ways:

  • 27² + 5² + 1² = 755
  • 25² + 11² + 3² = 755
  • 25² + 9² + 7² = 755
  • 23² + 15² + 1² = 755
  • 21² + 17² + 5² = 755
  • 19² + 15² + 13² = 755
