199

This number is a prime.

+ The smallest three-digit prime Lucas number.

+ Adding it to 210n provides the smallest 8, 9, and 10 primes in arithmetic progression.

+ (2199 + 1)/3 is the largest known Wagstaff prime which does not contain all of the individual digits. [Luhn]

+ 199 sets a record low of the Mertens function.

+ A permutable prime, meaning that 919 and 991 are primes as well. [Trotter]

+ The smallest number with an additive persistence of 3. [Gupta]

+ The smallest prime that can be concatenated with the next prime in any order giving two primes: 199211 and 211199. [Gallardo]

+ 199Hg (Mercury-199) is the heaviest stable atom which has a prime atomic weight. [Hartley]

+ The half-life of Au-199 is approximately π days.

+ The sum of the digits of all three-digit palindromic primes. [Silva]

+ (199, 211, 223) is the first triple of primes of the form (p, p+12, p+24). Note that for p < 1000 is the only such triple. Note also that 199211 and 223211 are primes. [Loungrides]

+ In 1941, Molsen proved that for n equal to or greater than 199, the interval n < p less than or equal to (8/7)n always contains a prime of each of the forms 3x+1, 3x-1. [Post]

+ 1000^199-999^199 is the only non titanic prime of the form p=1000^x-999^x. Note that the component 199 is equal to the smallest emirp of the form q=100^x-99^x. [Loungrides]

+ The first occurrence of a chain of six successive near-repdigit primes: 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233. [Beedassy]

+ The lesser of the smallest emirp pair (199, 991) each of whose members is the sum of a prime number of consecutive primes in a prime number of different ways: (199 = 61 + 67 + 71 = 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47) ; (991 = 191 + 193 + 197 + 199 + 211 = 127 + 131 + 137 + 139 + 149 + 151 + 157). [Beedassy]

+ Largest known prime partial sum of Dedekind numbers. Equivalently partial sum of number of monotone Boolean functions of n variables, or partial sums of number of antichains of subsets of an n-set: 2 + 3 + 6 + 20 + 168 = 199 is prime. Curously, the first 5 such partial sums are prime (2, 5, 11, 31, 199), and then no more primes are known. [Post]

+ The smallest emirp formed from a double-digit number followed by the product of its digits. [Loungrides]

+ The smallest Lucas emirp. [Gudipati]

+ A curious "quasi-evolving" pattern is exposed by colorizing the table of "gaps of gaps" between the primes up to 199 and their successive intervals. [Boggs]

+ The only prime that is the sum of three primes in a Honaker trios. [Chowdhury]

+ The first occurrence of a double-digit prime gap follows 199. [Lehmer]

+ The largest member in a set of twin primes generated by the formula n^2 + n(2n + 15) +/- 1 for n = 1 to 6. [Homewood]

+ The largest prime appearing on the Prime Numbers Activity chart by Math is Fun.

+ The smallest prime which is the sum of composite digits appearing in first primes up to itself. [Silva]

+ The smallest positive integer for which the sum of digits of its sum of digits is a two digit number. [Gaydos]

+ The smallest emirp p such that p and p^2 have the same sum of digits. [Gupta]

+ The smallest emirp that is the sum of four consecutive Fibonacci numbers, i.e., F(8) to F(11). [Gupta]

+ The smallest invertible prime Lucas number. [Jha]

+ The sum of the digits of 199 is prime, the sum of squares of the digits of 199 is prime, and the sum of the cubes of the digits is prime. [Anitha]

+ The 199th positive repdigit number is prime. [Gaydos]

+ 199 cubed is a Cyclops number. [Moore]
