Eleven is the 5th smallest prime number, and also a repunit prime. Although it is necessary for n to be prime for 2ⁿ-1 to be a Mersenne prime, the converse is not true: 2¹¹ - 1 = 2047 which is 23 × 89. The next prime is thirteen, with which it comprises a twin prime.

Because it has a reciprocal of unique period length among primes, 11 is a unique prime. 11 goes into 99 exactly 9 times, so fractions with 11 in the denominator have two digit repeating sequences in their decimal expansions.

In base 10, there is a simple test to determine if an integer is divisible by 11: take every digit of the number located in odd position and add them up, then take the remaining digits and add them up.
