Here is how you can get all categories id's:

//load root category 
$rootCategoryId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId();
$rootCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
                ->load($rootCategoryId);

//load all children categories of the root category
$childrenCategories = $rootCategory->getChildrenCategories();

Now you can have access to their ids like so:

foreach ($childrenCategories as $category) {
        var_dump($category->getId());
}

$categories=$_product->getCategoryIds();
foreach ($categories as $category)
{
    $info = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')
            ->load($category)
            ->getParentCategory();
    echo $info->getId(); //display category ID
    //var_dump($info->debug());  # display model contents
}
