129 (one hundred [and] twenty-nine) is the natural number following 128 and preceding 130.

In mathematics

129 is the sum of the first ten prime numbers. It is the smallest number that can be expressed as a sum of three squares in four different ways: [math]\displaystyle{ 11^2+2^2+2^2 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ 10^2+5^2+2^2 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ 8^2+8^2+1^2 }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ 8^2+7^2+4^2 }[/math].

129 is the product of only two primes, 3 and 43, making 129 a semiprime. Since 3 and 43 are both Gaussian primes, this means that 129 is a Blum integer.[1]

129 is a repdigit in base 6 (333).

129 is a happy number.[2]

129 is a centered octahedral number.[3]
