To find a prime factor of a number, divide by 2 and see if you get no remainder. Then divide by 3, 4, 5, and so on, until one of the numbers you try gets you no remainder. If no such numbers work below the number you chose, it is prime. In the case of the number 9, 2 does not go into 9, but 3 does.
