89 (eighty-nine) is the natural number following 88 and preceding 90.

In mathematics

89 is:

• the 24th prime number, following 83 and preceding 97.
• a Chen prime.
• a Pythagorean prime.
• the smallest Sophie Germain prime to start a Cunningham chain of the first kind of six terms, {89, 179, 359, 719, 1439, 2879}.
• an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1.
• The 11th Fibonacci number and thus a Fibonacci prime as well. The first few digits of its reciprocal coincide with the Fibonacci sequence due to the identity

${\displaystyle {\frac {1}{89}}=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{F(n)\times 10^{-(n+1)}}=0.011235955\dots \ .}$

• a Markov number, appearing in solutions to the Markov Diophantine equation with other odd-indexed Fibonacci numbers.

M₈₉ is the 10th Mersenne prime.

Although 89 is not a Lychrel number in base 10, it is unusual that it takes 24 iterations of the reverse and add process to reach a palindrome. Among the known non-Lychrel numbers in the first 10000 integers, no other number requires that many or more iterations. The palindrome reached is also unusually large: 8813200023188.

There are exactly 1000 prime numbers between 1 and 89=7921.
