>I have never given it out to anyone else, ever.
Not directly, perhaps.
>The inbox for that account only contains emails from Facebook. I have never given Facebook my phone number.
Your phone number can easily be scraped or harvested from other users who give Facebook your information.
>I have never clicked on an ad in Facebook.
VERY unlikely.
>I have never connected an app with my Facebook account.
Possible.
>_Facebook_ itself is the only entity which has ever had my contact info associated with my account.
Very unlikely.
>So tell me, how did 1,147 other businesses and groups get their hands on my info if I've never given it out?
User error.
The point is that "I would never do that!" is not a valid defense. Humans make errors, you are not an exception to this rule and leaking data is made very, very easy.
