Why is '397' used for ReSharper GetHashCode override?

Like many of you, I use ReSharper to speed up the development process. When you use it to override the equality members of a class, the code-gen it produces for GetHashCode() looks like:

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        unchecked
        {
            int result = (Key != null ? Key.GetHashCode() : 0);
            result = (result * 397) ^ (EditableProperty != null ? EditableProperty.GetHashCode() : 0);
            result = (result * 397) ^ ObjectId;
            return result;
        }
    }

Of course I have some of my own members in there, but what I am wanting to know is why 397?

• EDIT: So my question would be better worded as, is there something 'special' about the 397 prime number outside of it being a prime number?
