To determine if 6503 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6503.
If the factors of 6503 are only 6503 and 1, then we know that 6503 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6503 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6503 is only divisible by 1 and 6503, then it is a prime number, and if 6503 is divisible by more than 6503 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6503 are as follows:
