To determine if 6903 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 6903.
If the factors of 6903 are only 6903 and 1, then we know that 6903 is a prime number. Otherwise, 6903 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 6903 is only divisible by 1 and 6903, then it is a prime number, and if 6903 is divisible by more than 6903 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 6903 are as follows:
