As 244 = 1 + 243 = 15 + 35, it is the sum of two nonzero fifth powers.[1]

It is the second anti-perfect number, meaning that reversing the digits of the proper divisors of 244 and adding the results gives 244 back again.[2] It is also part of the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 61, 221, 244, ... in which each number is formed by reversing the digits of the double of the previous number.[3]

It is considered a lucky number in several areas of the United Arab Emirates; specifically Dubai.
