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;
		}
	}
}

NAME
openssl-prime, prime - compute prime numbers SYNOPSIS
openssl prime [-help] [-hex] [-generate] [-bits] [-safe] [-checks] [number...] DESCRIPTION
The prime command checks if the specified numbers are prime. If no numbers are given on the command line, the -generate flag should be used to generate primes according to the requirements specified by the rest of the flags. OPTIONS
[-help] Display an option summary. [-hex] Generate hex output. [-generate] Generate a prime number. [-bits num] Generate a prime with num bits. [-safe] When used with -generate, generates a "safe" prime. If the number generated is n, then check that (n-1)/2 is also prime. [-checks num] Perform the checks num times to see that the generated number is prime. The default is 20. COPYRIGHT
