Overview

129 (one hundred and twenty-nine) is the natural number following 128 and preceding 130.

In mathematics

129 is the sum of the first ten prime numbers. It is the smallest number that can be expressed as a sum of three squares in four different ways: 11^2+2^2+2^2 , 10^2+5^2+2^2 , 8^2+8^2+1^2 , and 8^2+7^2+4^2 . 129 is the product of only two primes, 3 and 43, making 129 a semiprime. Since 3 and 43 are both Gaussian primes, this means that 129 is a Blum integer. 129 is a repdigit in base 6 (333). 129 is a happy number. 129 is a centered octahedral number.
