169 (one hundred [and] sixty-nine) is the natural number following 168 and preceding 170.
169 is an odd number, a composite number, and a deficient number.
169 is a square number: 13 x 13 = 169, and if each number is reversed the equation is still true: 31 x 31 = 961. 144 shares this property: 12 x 12 = 144, 21 x 21 = 441.
