786 is a sphenic number. 50 can be partitioned into powers of two in 786 different ways (sequence A000123 in OEIS).

786 might be the largest n for which the value of the central binomial coefficient {}_{2n}\!C_n is not divisible by an odd prime squared. If there is a larger such number, it would have to be at least 157450 (see A059097).

[edit] In religion

The Arabic letters of the opening phrase of the Qur'an sum to the numerical value 786 in the system of Abjad numerals. Not all Muslims place emphasis on this numerological analysis; however, some — mostly in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh — use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah ("In the name of Allah" or "In the name of God").
