593

593 is a prime number. It is a Sophie Germain prime because 2 x 593 + 1 = 1187 is also prime.

593 has a representation as a sum of two squares: 593 = 82 + 232.

593 is the hypotenuse of a primitive Pythagorean triple: 5932 = 3682 + 4652.

593 = 92 + 29 = 32*2 + 23*3.


593 is the number on the conning tower of the submarine USS Wayne in the movie The Spy Who Loved Me.

pretty insensitive the 593 boat was the USS Thresher - lost with all hands in 1963 - painful for family members to see this kind Hollywood oversight
