## In mathematics

One hundred [and] twenty-one is

• a square (11 times 11)
• the sum of the powers of 3 from 0 to 4, so a repunit in base 3. Furthermore 121 is the only square of the form ${\displaystyle 1+p+p^{2}+p^{3}+p^{4}}$ , where p is prime (3, in this case).[citation needed]
• the sum of three consecutive primes (37 + 41 + 43).
• As 5! + 1 = 121 it provides a solution to Brocard's problem. There are only two other squares known to be of the form n! + 1, . Another example of 121 being one of the few numbers supporting a conjecture is that Fermat conjectured that 4 and 121 are the only perfect squares of the form x3 - 4 (with x being 2 and 5, respectively).[1]
• It is also a star number and a centered octagonal number.

• In base 10, it is a Smith number since its digits add up to the same value as its factorization (which uses the same digits) and as a consequence of that it is a Friedman number (11^2). But it can not be expressed as the sum of any other number plus that number's digits, making 121 a self number.
