786 is the integer coming after 785 and b4 (before) 787.
In mathematics
786 is a sphenic number. 50 can be partitioned into powers of 2 in 786 completely 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.
In astronomy
In the New General Catalogue, NGC786 is a magnitude 13.5 spiral galaxy in the constellation Aries. Additionally, 786 Bredichina is an asteroid
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, Myanmar and Bangladesh — use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah (“In the name of Allah” or (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) “In the name of God”).
Area code
786 is an area code in Miami-Dade County. As an overlay area code, it shares geography with other codes in order to raise the area’s pool of usable numbers, bringing ten-digit dialing to the Florida Keys.
Numerology
The total value of the letters of “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim” according to
one Arabic system of numerology is 786.
There are 2 methods of arranging the letters of the Arabic alphabet. 1 method is the most commun alphabetical order (used for most ordinary purposes), beginning with the letters Alif ?, ba ?, ta ?, tha ? etc. The other method is known as the Abjad numerals’ method or (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) ordinal method. In this method the letters are arranged in the following order: Abjad, Hawwaz, Hutti, Kalaman, Sa’fas, Qarshat, Sakhaz, Zazagh; and each letter has an arithmetic value assigned to it from 1 to 1 thousand. (This arrangement was done, most most likely in the third century of Hijrah during the ‘Abbasid period, following the practices of speakers of other Semitic languages such as Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, Chaldean etc.)
If you take the numeric values of all the letters of the Basmala, according to the Abjad order, the total will be 786. In the Indian subcontinent the Abjad numerals have become quite popular. Some people, mostly in India and Pakistan, use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah (“In the name of Allah” or (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) “In the name of God”). They write this number to avoid writing the name of God, or (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) Qur’anic verses on ordinary papers, which can be subject to dirt or (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) (perhaps) come in contact with ‘unclean’ materials. This practice does not date from the time of Muhammad and is not universally approved by Muslims.
