103 (one hundred [and] three) is the natural number following 102 and preceding 104.

In mathematics

[edit]

103 is a prime number, and the largest prime factor of .[1] The previous prime is 101. This makes 103 a twin prime.[2] It is the fifth irregular prime,[3] because it divides the numerator of the Bernoulli number

The equation makes 103 part of a "Fermat near miss".[4]

There are 103 different connected series-parallel partial orders on exactly six unlabeled elements.[5]

103 is conjectured to be the smallest number for which repeatedly reversing the digits of its ternary representation, and adding the number to its reversal, does not eventually reach a ternary palindrome.[6]

In science

[edit]

103 is the atomic number of lawrencium, a radioactive element named after Ernest Lawrence.
