120000003

120000003 is a natural number that follows 120000002 and precedes 120000004. In decimal notation it is written as 120,000,003. The number is odd and not divisible by 5, and its digit sum is 1 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 3 = 6, which shows that it is divisible by 3.

As a consequence, 120000003 is a composite number. It factors as 3 × 40,000,001. The cofactor 40,000,001 can be further factored as 53 × 754,717, giving the product 120,000,003 = 3 × 53 × 754,717. This establishes that the number has at least these factors, and confirms its non-prime status. Whether 754,717 is itself prime would determine the complete prime factorization, but the known factorization already shows its divisibility by 3 and 53.

In terms of magnitude, 120,000,003 lies in the hundred-millions range, specifically just over 120 million. Its decimal representation contains six consecutive zeros between the initial digits and the final 3, highlighting a notable pattern in its digit structure.
