[edit]

271 is a twin prime with 269,[1] a cuban prime (a prime number that is the difference of two consecutive cubes),[2] and a centered hexagonal number.[3] It is the smallest prime number bracketed on both sides by numbers divisible by cubes,[4] and the smallest prime number bracketed by numbers with five primes (counting repetitions) in their factorizations:[5]

and .

After 7, 271 is the second-smallest Eisenstein–Mersenne prime, one of the analogues of the Mersenne primes in the Eisenstein integers.[6]

271 is the largest prime factor of the five-digit repunit 11111,[7] and the largest prime number for which the decimal period of its multiplicative inverse is 5:[8]

It is a sexy prime with 277.
