91 (ninety-one) is the natural number following 90 and preceding 92.

In mathematics

91 as the sum and difference of two positive cubes

91 is:

• the twenty-seventh distinct semiprime ^[1] and the second of the form (7.q), where q is a higher prime.
• the aliquot sum of 91 is 21 33; itself a semiprime, within an aliquot sequence of two composite numbers (91,21,11, 1,0) to the prime in the 11-aliquot tree. 91 is the fourth composite number in the 11-aliquot tree.(91,51,21,18).
• the 13th triangular number. ^[2]
• a hexagonal number, ^[3] one of the few such numbers to also be a centered hexagonal number. ^[4]
• a centered nonagonal number. ^[5]
• a centered cube number. ^[6]
• a square pyramidal number, being the sum of the squares of the first six integers. ^[7]
• the smallest positive integer expressible as a sum of two cubes in two different ways if negative roots are allowed (alternatively the sum of two cubes and the difference of two cubes): ^[8]
  91 = 6³ + (−5)³ = 4³ + 3³. (See 1729 for more details).
  This implies that 91 is the second cabtaxi number.
• the smallest positive integer expressible as a sum of six distinct squares:
  91 = 1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² + 6².
• The only other ways to write 91 as a sum of distinct squares are:
  91 = 1² + 4² + 5² + 7² and
• 91 = 1² + 3² + 9².
• the smallest pseudoprime satisfying the congruence 3ⁿ ≡ 3 mod n. ^[9]
• a repdigit in base 9 (111₉).
• palindromic in bases 3 (10101₃), 9 (111₉), and 12 (77₁₂).
• a Riordan number. ^[10]
• the smallest number that looks prime but isn't, proven using the Rotten Theorem by John Conway. ^{[11] [12]}

The decimal equivalent of the fraction 1⁄91 can be obtained by using powers of 9.

In science

• 91 is the atomic number of protactinium, an actinide.
• McCarthy 91 function, a recursive function in discrete mathematics
• Messier object M91, a magnitude 11.5 spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices
• The New General Catalogue object NGC 91, a single star in the constellation Andromeda
