343 is the first nice Friedman number that is composite since 343 = (3 + 4)3.[4][5] It is the only known example of x2+x+1 = y3, in this case, x=18, y=7.[6] It is z3 in a triplet (x,y,z) such that x5 + y2 = z3.[citation needed] It is also a strong Friedman number.[7]

Since 343 reversed is 343, it is a palindrome number.[1] Since it is also an economical number, it is the smallest economical palindrome.[8][3]
