public void determineFactor(int sayi){
        int number = 1;
        int sayi1 = 1; 
        while (number <= sayi){ 
            number++;
            number = number * sayi1;  

        }//end while
    System.out.println(number); 
    }
}//end class


   ///and the value of sayi is defined as 5 in the driver class.

And 12, but I would call them divisors.
