261st

The term "261st" can refer to various entities, most commonly a military unit designation. For instance, the 261st Infantry Regiment, also known as the "Green Mountain Boys," was a unit of the United States Army. This regiment served in several conflicts, including World War I and World War II. Its history is documented in military archives and regimental histories.

In other contexts, "261st" might be part of a serial number, a code, or a specific identifier within a larger system. For example, it could be a designation for a specific model of an aircraft, a component in a piece of machinery, or a particular version of a software product. Without further context, pinpointing a single, universal meaning for "261st" is not possible. Its significance is entirely dependent on the system or organization that employs this numerical designation.

The number 261 itself is a natural number preceding 262 and following 260. It is an odd number and a composite number, its prime factors being 3 and 87, or more precisely 3 and 3 and 29. In mathematics, it holds no particularly special properties that distinguish it widely outside of its numerical value. Its utility lies primarily in its use as a sequential or identifying marker.
