## In mathematics

143 is:

* the sum of seven consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31). But this number is never the sum of an integer and its base 10 digits, making it a self number. It is also the product of a twin prime pair (11 × 13).
* the difference in the first exception to the pattern shown below:

32+42=52
33+43+53=63
34+44+54+64=74−143.

* the number of prime numbers have three digits[1]

Every positive integer is the sum of at most 143 seventh powers (see Waring's problem).
