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.{{cite OEIS|A002931|Number of self-avoiding polygons of length 2n on square lattice (not allowing rotations)}}

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.{{cite OEIS|A051177|Perfectly partitioned numbers: numbers k that divide the number of partitions p(k)}}
