In accordance with a sensible procedure practiced by User:GUllman, the articles for the numbers 701 to 799 will be 'grown' here in the article on 700 until they are big enough to merit their own articles. Once that happens, a new page is created for the number in question, linking back to this page, and this page is changed to indicate that the number now has its own article. PrimeFan
I downloaded a Bible from Project Gutenberg and searched in it for "777", "seven hundred and seventy-seven", "seventy-seven and seven hundred" and a few other permutations and found nothing. On the other hand, "seven times seven" (which is 49) occurs a lot in the Bible, and occasionally other powers of 7. So if we can't find any basis for 777 being Jesus's number, then the statement ought to be removed. PrimeFan 22:41, 16 May 2004 (UTC)
According to Hebrew tradition, the number 7 represents completeness and perfection. The number 3 has similar properties. Therefore, stringing 3 7's together creates a sort of uber-perfect number. Hence the origin, in my understanding. Starsquare16 18:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
If you add up the numeric value the greek letters of Jesus's name you get 888 and his name appears 888 times in the New Testament. 8 is the number of new and is one more than 7 (# of completion).
780 and 990 are the fourth smallest pair of triangular numbers whose sum and difference are also triangular numbers.
The three smaller pairs are:
15 (T5) and 21 (T6) - sum is 36 (T8) and diff is 15 (T3)
105 (T14)and 171 (T18) - sum is 276 (T23) and diff is 66 (T11)
378 (T27)and 703(T37) - sum is 1081 (T46) and diff is 325 (T25)

The disambigs for 700 and 797 should be split off onto their own articles. 70.49.125.226 ( talk) 10:19, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:300 (number) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 17:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
