CPU & Memory Memory allocation problem

I am using ubuntu. I have written a program to calculate prime factors. it works perfectly fine till entered number is less than 9989 (or so ) but when one enters a number higher than that, for example 15000, it does not work. Can anyone guide me whats the problem ? although new codes are welcome, but i want to know problem with my code. thanks in Advance Smilie
Code:
 #include<stdio.h>
void prime_factors( int );
int next_prime_no( int );
int main()
{
	int num;
	printf("Enter a number : ");
	scanf("%d",&num);
	prime_factors(num);
	return 0;
}
void prime_factors( int a)
{
	int r,p,c=a;
	for(p=2;p<=c;p=next_prime_no(p))		//checking for prime factors starting from 2 and then finding next higher prime number
	{
		while(a>0)		
		{
			if(p==c)			//printing the number itself if no prime factors other than itself.
			{
				printf(" Factors of %d are 1 and %d \n\n",c,c);
				a=0;
				break;
			}
			else
			{	
				r=a%p;
				if(r==0)
				{
					printf(" %d ",p);
					a=a/p;
				}
				else
				{
				break;
				}
			}
		}
	}
	printf("\n\n\n");	
}
int next_prime_no(int p)				// finding the next higher prime number
{
	int i,r,j;
	for(i=p+1;i<10000;i++)
	{
		r=0;
		for(j=2;j<i;j++)
		{
			r=i%j;
			if(r==0)
			break;
		}
		if(r!=0)
		{
			return i;
			break;
		}
	}
}

BN_generate_prime(3)						      OpenSSL						      BN_generate_prime(3)

NAME
BN_generate_prime, BN_is_prime, BN_is_prime_fasttest - generate primes and test for primality SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bn.h> BIGNUM *BN_generate_prime(BIGNUM *ret, int num, int safe, BIGNUM *add, BIGNUM *rem, void (*callback)(int, int, void *), void *cb_arg); int BN_is_prime(const BIGNUM *a, int checks, void (*callback)(int, int, void *), BN_CTX *ctx, void *cb_arg); int BN_is_prime_fasttest(const BIGNUM *a, int checks, void (*callback)(int, int, void *), BN_CTX *ctx, void *cb_arg, int do_trial_division); DESCRIPTION
BN_generate_prime() generates a pseudo-random prime number of num bits. If ret is not NULL, it will be used to store the number. If callback is not NULL, it is called as follows: o callback(0, i, cb_arg) is called after generating the i-th potential prime number. o While the number is being tested for primality, callback(1, j, cb_arg) is called as described below. o When a prime has been found, callback(2, i, cb_arg) is called. The prime may have to fulfill additional requirements for use in Diffie-Hellman key exchange: If add is not NULL, the prime will fulfill the condition p % add == rem (p % add == 1 if rem == NULL) in order to suit a given generator. If safe is true, it will be a safe prime (i.e. a prime p so that (p-1)/2 is also prime). The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling BN_generate_prime(). The prime number generation has a negligible error probability. BN_is_prime() and BN_is_prime_fasttest() test if the number a is prime. The following tests are performed until one of them shows that a is composite; if a passes all these tests, it is considered prime. BN_is_prime_fasttest(), when called with do_trial_division == 1, first attempts trial division by a number of small primes; if no divisors are found by this test and callback is not NULL, callback(1, -1, cb_arg) is called. If do_trial_division == 0, this test is skipped. Both BN_is_prime() and BN_is_prime_fasttest() perform a Miller-Rabin probabilistic primality test with checks iterations. If checks == BN_prime_checks, a number of iterations is used that yields a false positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input. If callback is not NULL, callback(1, j, cb_arg) is called after the j-th iteration (j = 0, 1, ...). ctx is a pre-allocated BN_CTX (to save the overhead of allocating and freeing the structure in a loop), or NULL. RETURN VALUES
BN_generate_prime() returns the prime number on success, NULL otherwise. BN_is_prime() returns 0 if the number is composite, 1 if it is prime with an error probability of less than 0.25^checks, and -1 on error. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3). SEE ALSO
bn(3), ERR_get_error(3), rand(3) HISTORY
The cb_arg arguments to BN_generate_prime() and to BN_is_prime() were added in SSLeay 0.9.0. The ret argument to BN_generate_prime() was added in SSLeay 0.9.1. BN_is_prime_fasttest() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.5. 1.0.1e 2013-02-11 BN_generate_prime(3)
