In mathematics edit

189 is a centered cube number[1] and a heptagonal number.[2] The centered cube numbers are the sums of two consecutive cubes, and 189 can be written as sum of two cubes in two ways: 43 + 53 and 63 + (−3)3.[3] The smallest number that can be written as the sum of two positive cubes in two ways is 1729.[4]

There are 189 zeros among the decimal digits of the positive integers with at most three digits.[5]

The largest prime number that can be represented in 256-bit arithmetic is the "ultra-useful prime" 2256 − 189,[6] used in quasi-Monte Carlo methods[7] and in some cryptographic systems.[8]
