To determine if 3903 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3903.
If the factors of 3903 are only 3903 and 1, then we know that 3903 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3903 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3903 is only divisible by 1 and 3903, then it is a prime number, and if 3903 is divisible by more than 3903 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3903 are as follows:
