189 (one hundred [and] eighty-nine) is the natural number following 188 and preceding 190.

Contents

In mathematics

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]

The largest prime number that can be represented in 256-bit arithmetic is the "ultra-useful prime" 2256 189, [5] used in quasi-Monte Carlo methods [6] and in some cryptographic systems. [7]
