121 (one hundred [and] twenty-one) is the natural number following 120 and preceding 122.
In mathematics[edit]
One hundred [and] twenty-one is
- a square (11 times 11)
- the sum of the powers of 3 from 0 to 4, so a repunit in ternary. Furthermore, 121 is the only square of the form , where p is prime (3, in this case).[1]
- the sum of three consecutive prime numbers (37 + 41 + 43).
- As , it provides a solution to Brocard's problem. There are only two other squares known to be of the form . Another example of 121 being one of the few numbers supporting a conjecture is that Fermat conjectured that 4 and 121 are the only perfect squares of the form (with x being 2 and 5, respectively).[2]
- It is also a star number, a centered tetrahedral number, and a centered octagonal number.
- In decimal, it is a Smith number since its digits add up to the same value as its factorization (which uses the same digits) and as a consequence of that it is a Friedman number (). But it cannot be expressed as the sum of any other number plus that number's digits, making 121 a self number.
In other fields[edit]
121 is also:
- The electricity emergency telephone number in Egypt
- The number for voicemail for mobile phones on the Vodafone network[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
