1234 is the natural number following 1233, and preceding 1235. It has two distinct prime factors, 2 and 617, making it a squarefree semiprime.[1] It is the number of independent vertex sets in a 4×4 square grid, or equivalently, the number of distinct 4×4 binary matrices in which no two adjacent elements are both equal to 1.[2]
