To work out a prime factor we must divide the number by the smallest possible prime number:

8595 ÷ 3 = 2865

Then divide the new number by the smallest possible prime number:

2865 ÷ 3 = 955

And again until we can’t any further:

955 ÷ 5 = 191


191 ÷ 191 = 1

Prime factors of 8595 are:
3, 3, 5, 191.
