121 is the only square known of the form 1+p+p2+p3+p4, where p is prime.
122 is the smallest number n>1 so that n concatenated with n-1 0's concatenated with the reverse of n is prime.
123 is the 10th Lucas number.
124 is the smallest number with the property that its first 3 multiples contain the digit 2.
125 is the only number known that contains all its proper divisors as proper substrings.


Mark:

121) the smallest non-trivial (multiple digits) square palindrome Cool
123) the smallest 3-digit number with the digits forming an arithmetic sequence Cool
124) the smallest 3-digit number with the digits forming a non-trivial (r<>1) geometric sequence Cool
125) the smallest cube with digits (more than one) that sum to a cube Cool
