744

744 is a natural number that follows 743 and precedes 745. In mathematics, it is an even composite number with prime factorization 2^3 × 3 × 31. Its divisors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 31, 62, 93, 124, 186, 248, 372, and 744. The sum of all divisors equals 1920, so the sum of its proper divisors is 1176, making 744 an abundant number.

In various numeral systems, 744 has distinct representations. In binary it is 1011101000_2; in octal it is 01350_8; in hexadecimal it is 0x2E8. In Roman numerals the number is written as DCCXLIV.

As a year designation, 744 can refer to a year in historical chronology, commonly interpreted as 744 CE in the Gregorian calendar’s extended usage. Such date references appear in historical and archaeological discussions, though specific events attributed to that year vary by source.

The number’s factorization also implies a structured divisor set and confirms its compositeness. Its status as an abundant number places it among integers whose proper divisors sum to more than the number itself, a property studied within elementary number theory.
