2999 is a natural number that follows 2998 and precedes 3000. In mathematics, 2999 is a prime number, meaning it has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. It is odd and not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, and a check of prime factors up to its square root (approximately 54) confirms its primality. The sum of its digits is 29, which is not a multiple of 3.

In common positional numeral systems, 2999 is represented as binary 101110110111, octal 5667, and hexadecimal BB7. In Roman numerals it is MMCMXCIX.

As a year, 2999 CE denotes a point far in the future within the Gregorian calendar; it is not associated with any specific historical events in standard chronologies. The number’s primality and proximity to 3000 make it a reference point in discussions of primes near milestones and in various number-theory contexts.
