124 is an untouchable number, meaning that it is not the sum of proper divisors of any positive number. [1]

It is a stella octangula number, the number of spheres packed in the shape of a stellated octahedron. [2] It is also an icosahedral number. [3]

There are 124 different polygons of length 12 formed by edges of the integer lattice, counting two polygons as the same only when one is a translated copy of the other. [4]

124 is a perfectly partitioned number, meaning that it divides the number of partitions of 124. It is the first number to do so after 1, 2, and 3. [5]
