786 might be the largest n for which the value of the central binomial coefficient 2 n C n {\displaystyle {}_{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 OEIS: A059097).

In astronomy

In religion

The origin, importance and meaning of 786 in Islam is uncertain but a there is a possible explanation relating it to aum that says that the letter ॐ and the number 786 written in Arabic bear a striking resemblance. However, some people also claim that the Arabic letters of the opening phrase of the Qur'an (the Basmala phrase Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim "In the name of God, the Compassionate and Merciful") sum to the numerical value 786 in the system of Abjad numerals. Not all Muslims place emphasis on this numerological analysis, but some Muslims in South Asia use the number 786 as an Islamic symbol, and some Muslim scholars and groups (such as the "Qur'an-only" Submitters) consider it to be religiously significant.

786 is an area code in the Florida Keys. As an overlay area code, it shares geography with other codes in order to increase the area's pool of usable numbers, bringing ten-digit dialing to the Florida Keys. What is interesting is that Florida is the Sunshine State, and that 786 spells out Sun on the telephone keypad.
