101003

101003 is a natural number that follows 101002 and precedes 101004 in the sequence of positive integers. In base-10 representation it is odd and composite. Its prime factorization is 7 × 47 × 307, making it a product of three distinct primes. The positive divisors of 101003 are 1, 7, 47, 307, 329, 2149, 14429, and 101003. The digit sum is 5, so the number is not divisible by 3, and as it ends in 3 it is not divisible by 5. It is not a square or a cube and does not correspond to a simple power.

In mathematics, 101003 can be used as an example of a moderately large composite number, illustrating factorization into three primes and the structure of divisors. It lacks a particular special status like being prime, a power, or a triangular number, but it helps demonstrate basic number theory concepts such as modular arithmetic and divisor counting.

Beyond pure mathematics, 101003 commonly appears as an identifier in various systems. It can function as a catalog number, product code, or database key where a six-digit numeric string is used. In astronomy, numbers of this form may denote a minor planet or asteroid designation once confirmed, representing the object’s place in the official numbering sequence.

As with many numeric labels, the precise meaning of 101003 depends on the context in which it is used. There is no single universal interpretation.
