is 503 a prime number - #25726
I am really confused about math stuff and need some help! Lately, I started getting into number theory, not sure why, but I find it fascinating. I was trying to figure out if 503 is a prime number. I read somewhere that a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that can’t be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. But when I looked up 503 is 503 a prime number, some sites said it is, and others said it’s not. I don’t get it! Like, I tried dividing it by a few numbers, and nothing worked, which makes me think it should be prime, but then what if I missed something? I can't even remember if I checked 17 or 19 — did I?? 🙄 Help, what do you guys think? Is 503 a prime number or am I just wasting my time here? Really need some clarity on this one!!
