23 (twenty-three) is the natural number following 22 and preceding 24.
In mathematics
- Twenty-three is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime. Twenty-three is also the fifth factorial prime,[1] the second Woodall prime.[2] It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1.
- The fifth Sophie Germain prime[3] and the fourth safe prime,[4] 23 is the next to last member of the first Cunningham chain of the first kind to have five terms (2, 5, 11, 23, 47). Since 14! + 1 is a multiple of 23 but 23 is not one more than a multiple 14, 23 is a Pillai prime.[5] 23 is the smallest odd prime to be a highly cototient number, as the solution to x − φ(x) for the integers 95, 119, 143, 529.[6]
- 23 is the first prime p for which unique factorization of cyclotomic integers based on the pth root of unity breaks down.
- The sum of the first 23 primes is 874, which is divisible by 23, a property shared by few other numbers.[7][8]
- In the list of fortunate numbers, 23 occurs twice, since adding 23 to either the fifth or eighth primorial gives a prime number (namely 2333 and 9699713).[9]
- 23 also has the distinction of being one of two integers that cannot be expressed as the sum of fewer than 9 cubes of positive integers (the other is 239). See Waring's problem.
- 23 is a Wedderburn–Etherington number.[10] The codewords in the perfect (non-extended) binary Golay code are of size 23.
- According to the birthday paradox, in a group of 23 (or more) randomly chosen people, the probability is more than 50% that some pair of them will have the same birthday. A related coincidence is that 365 times the natural logarithm of 2, approximately 252.999, is very close to the number of pairs of 23 items, 253.
- In base 10, 23 is the second Smarandache–Wellin prime, as it is the concatenation of the base 10 representations of the first two primes (2 and 3) and is itself also prime.[11] It is also a happy number in base 10.[12] 23! is 23 digits long in base 10. There are only three other numbers that have this property: 1, 22, and 24.
- The natural logarithms of all positive integers lower than 23 are known to have binary BBP-type formulae.[13]
- 23 is the smallest prime number p such that the largest consecutive pair of p-smooth numbers is the same as the largest consecutive pair of (p − 1)-smooth numbers, as given in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences sequence A228611. That is, the largest consecutive pair of 23-smooth numbers, (11859210, 11859211), is the same as the largest consecutive pair of 22-smooth numbers, and 23 is the smallest prime for which this is true.
- 23 is the smallest positive solution to Sunzi's original formulation of the Chinese remainder theorem.
In science and technology
- The atomic number of vanadium.
- The atomic mass number of the stable isotope of sodium.
- Normal human sex cells have 23 chromosomes.[14] Other human cells have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs.[15]
- Scientific notation for the Avogadro constant is written as 14179(30)×1023 mol−1. 6.022[16]
- 23 is the width of the Arecibo message, sent to space in search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
- 23 is the TCP/IP port used for telnet and is the default for the telnet command.
In religion
- Psalm 23, also known as the Shepherd Psalm, is possibly the most quoted and best known Psalm.[17] Psalms is also the 23rd book in the Douay–Rheims Bible.
- In Islam, the Qur'an was revealed in a total of 23 years to Prophet Muhammed.[18][19]
- Muslims believe the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad on the 23rd night of the 9th Islamic month.[20]
- Principia Discordia, the sacred text of Discordianism, holds that 23 (along with the discordian prime 5) is one of the sacred numbers of Eris, goddess of discord.

Various suggestions have been made as to the reason for this interest: that he took it from the Biorhythms theory of Wilhelm Fliess, in which a 23-day cycle is considered significant,[21] or because he first suffered an asthma attack on 23rd of the month.[22]
