To determine if 5003 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5003.
If the factors of 5003 are only 5003 and 1, then we know that 5003 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5003 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5003 is only divisible by 1 and 5003, then it is a prime number, and if 5003 is divisible by more than 5003 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5003 are as follows:
