239

Number
$239$ (two hundred and thirty-nine) is:


 * The $52$nd prime number.


 * The $1$st of the $17$th pair of twin primes, with $241$


 * The $17$th Sophie Germain prime after $2, 3, 5, 11, 23, 29, 41, 53, 83, 89, 113, 131, 173, 179, 191, 233$:
 * $2 \times 239 + 1 = 479$, which is prime.


 * The $2$nd of the only two positive integers needing as many as $9$ positive cubes to express it:
 * $239 = 4^3 + 4^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 3^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3$
 * The other is $23$.


 * The $2$nd positive integer needing as many as $19$ positive fourth powers to express it:
 * $239 = 3^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 2^4 + 13 \times 1^4$


 * The largest integer such that the largest prime factor of $n^2 + 1$ is at less than $17$:
 * $239^2 + 1 = 57122 = 2 \times 13^4$


 * With $y = 13$, the only $x$ which is the solution of the indeterminate Diophantine equation $x^2 + 1 = 2 y^4$:
 * $239^2 + 1 = 2 \times 13^4$
