279 (two hundred [and] seventy-nine) is the natural number following 278 and preceding 280.

In mathematics

279 is an odd composite number with two prime factors.^[1]
Waring’s Conjecture is g(n)=2n+⌊(3/2)n⌋-2. When 8 is plugged in for n, the result is 279. That means that any positive integer can be formed with at most 279 numbers to the 8th power.^[2]
279 is the smallest number whose product of digits is 7 times the sum of its digits.
279 can be written as the sum of 4 nonzero perfect squares.^[3]

In mathematics, a transcendental number is a real or complex number that is not algebraic: that is, not the root of a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients. The best-known transcendental numbers are $π$ and $e$ . The quality of a number being transcendental is called transcendence.

In mathematics, the persistence of a number is the number of times one must apply a given operation to an integer before reaching a fixed point at which the operation no longer alters the number.

In arithmetic and algebra, the fourth power of a number n is the result of multiplying four instances of n together. So:

An antimagic square of order n is an arrangement of the numbers 1 to n² in a square, such that the sums of the n rows, the n columns and the two diagonals form a sequence of 2n + 2 consecutive integers. The smallest antimagic squares have order 4. Antimagic squares contrast with magic squares, where each row, column, and diagonal sum must have the same value.
