Step 1 :\(63 \div 2 = 31\text{ R }1\)
Step 2 :2 is not a factor of 63.
Step 3 :\(63 \div 3 = 21\)
Step 4 :3 is a prime factor of 63.
Step 5 :\(21 \div 2 = 10\text{ R }1\)
Step 6 :2 is not a factor of 21.
Step 7 :\(21 \div 3 = 7\)
Step 8 :3 is a prime factor of 21.
Step 9 :\(7 \div 2 = 3\text{ R }1\)
Step 10 :2 is not a factor of 7.
Step 11 :7 is a prime number and a prime factor of 63.
Step 12 :\(3 \times 3 \times 7 = 63\)
Step 13 :\(\boxed{\text{The prime factors of 63 are 3, 3, and 7.}}\)
