Chemistry: Balance an equation?

I wanted to make a hydrofluoric acid one day and started a chemical reaction. Can you balance the following equation for my reaction using the smallest set of whole numbers, then add together the coefficients? Don't forget to count coefficients of one. __ SF4 + __ H2O → __ H2SO3 + __ HF In other words what would the sum of my coefficients equal?

    SF4+3H2O -> H2SO3+4HF

    blanks are just 1, so the total coefficients is 9, 4 on one side 5 on the other
