744 (seven hundred [and] forty four) is the natural number following 743 and preceding 745.

In mathematics

744 is a semiperfect number.^[1] It is also an abundant number.^[2][3]

The j-invariant, an important function in the study of modular forms and Monstrous moonshine, can be written as a Fourier series in which the constant term is 744:^[4] $${\displaystyle j(\tau )=q^{-1}+744+196\,884q+21\,493\,760q^{2}+864\,299\,970q^{3}+\cdots ,}$$where ${\displaystyle q=e^{2\pi i\tau }}$. One consequence of this is that 744 appears in expressions for Ramanujan's constant and other almost integers.
