31 (number)

31 (thirty-one) is the natural number following 30 and preceding 32. It is a prime number.

31 is the 11th prime number. It is a superprime and a self prime (after 3, 5, and 7), as no integer added up to its base 10 digits results in 31. It is the third Mersenne prime of the form 2n − 1, and the eighth Mersenne prime exponent, in-turn yielding the maximum positive value for a 32-bit signed binary integer in computing: 2,147,483,647. After 3, it is the second Mersenne prime not to be a double Mersenne prime, while the 31st prime number (127) is the second double Mersenne prime, following 7. On the other hand, the thirty-first triangular number is the perfect number 496, of the form 2(5 − 1)(25 − 1) by the Euclid-Euler theorem. 31 is also a primorial prime like its twin prime (29), as well as both a lucky prime and a happy number like its dual permutable prime in decimal (13).

31 is the number of regular polygons with an odd number of sides that are known to be constructible with compass and straightedge, from combinations of known Fermat primes of the form 22n + 1 (they are 3, 5, 17, 257 and 65537).

Only two numbers have a sum-of-divisors equal to 31: 16 (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16) and 25 (1 + 5 + 25), respectively the square of 4, and of 5. In total, only thirty-one integers are not the sum of distinct squares (31 is the sixteenth such number, where the largest is 128).

31 is the 11th and final consecutive supersingular prime. After 31, the only supersingular primes are 41, 47, 59, and 71.

31 is the first prime centered pentagonal number, the fifth centered triangular number, and the first non-trivial centered decagonal number.

For the Steiner tree problem, 31 is the number of possible Steiner topologies for Steiner trees with 4 terminals.

At 31, the Mertens function sets a new low of −4, a value which is not subceded until 110.
