public void determineFactor(int sayi){
        int number = 1;
        int sayi1 = 1;

What is your question?

Try google. There are lots of different algorithms out there

i googled this, but i could not understand the logic of it. can you please explain it to me emphasizing its logic.

Post the algorithm you found and your questions about it.

Factors for 12: 1,2,3,4,6

And 12, but I would call them divisors.
