131 (number)

131 is a natural number following 130 and preceding 132. It is an odd number and a prime number.

Mathematical Properties:

• Prime Number: 131 is a prime number, meaning it is only divisible by 1 and itself.
• Twin Prime: 131 is part of a twin prime pair with 127.
• Chen Prime: 131 is a Chen prime because 133 (131 + 2) is a product of two primes (7 x 19).
• Palindromic Prime: 131 is a palindromic prime because it reads the same forwards and backward.

Other Potential Significance:

While 131 may not hold specific widespread cultural or symbolic meaning, its numerical properties, particularly its primality and palindromic nature, make it of interest in number theory and recreational mathematics. Its relative simplicity as a prime number also means it may appear in various mathematical contexts as a relatively easy to manage example.
