6959

6959 is a natural number that comes after 6958 and before 6960. In decimal notation it is written as 6959.

In mathematics, 6959 is notable as a prime number. It is odd and its digits sum to 29, which shows it is not divisible by 3. Since the square root of 6959 is approximately 83.5, any nontrivial factor would have to be at most 83, and testing prime divisors up to 83 confirms that 6959 has no divisors other than 1 and itself. Therefore, it is classified as a prime number.

Beyond its primality, 6959 does not have widely recognized special properties or widely cited theorems associated with it. As a four-digit prime, it sits among the many primes used in number theory and recreational mathematics to illustrate concepts such as primality testing and the distribution of primes in small ranges.
