251 (two hundred [and] fifty-one) is the natural number between 250 and 252. It is also a prime number.

In mathematics

251 is:

• a Sophie Germain prime. ^[1]
• the sum of three consecutive primes (79 + 83 + 89) and seven consecutive primes (23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47).
• a Chen prime. ^[2]
• an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part.
• a de Polignac number, meaning that it is odd and cannot be formed by adding a power of two to a prime number. ^{[3] [4]}
• the smallest number that can be formed in more than one way by summing three positive cubes: ^{[5] [6]} ${\displaystyle 251=2^{3}+3^{3}+6^{3}=1^{3}+5^{3}+5^{3}.}$

Every 5 × 5 matrix has exactly 251 square submatrices. ^[7]
