183 (one hundred [and] eighty-three) is the natural number following 182 and preceding 184.

In mathematics

183 is a perfect totient number, a number that is equal to the sum of its iterated totients.^[1]

Because ${\displaystyle 183=13^{2}+13+1}$, it is the number of points in a projective plane over the finite field ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} _{13}}$.^[2] 183 is the fourth element of a divisibility sequence ${\displaystyle 1,3,13,183,\dots }$ in which the ${\displaystyle n}$th number ${\displaystyle a_{n}}$ can be computed as

$${\displaystyle a_{n}=a_{n-1}^{2}+a_{n-1}+1={\bigl \lfloor }x^{2^{n}}{\bigr \rfloor },}$$

for a transcendental number ${\displaystyle x\approx 1.38509}$.^[3][4] This sequence counts the number of trees of height ${\displaystyle \leq n}$ in which each node can have at most two children.^[3][5]

There are 183 different semiorders on four labeled elements.^[6]
