359 (number)
359 (three hundred ndfifty-nine) is the natural number following 358 and preceding 360. 359 is the 72nd prime number. In mathematics 359 is a Sophie Germain prime: 2(359)+1= 719 (also a Sophie Germain prime.) It is also a safe prime, because subtracting 1 and halving it gives another prime number (179). Since the reversal of it's digits gives 953, which is prime, it is also an emirp. In telephony 359 is also the international calling code for Bulgaria.
