Problem: While Loop Simulation

	For each call below to the following method, write the output that is printed, as it would appear on the console: 

public static void mystery(int n) {
	int x = 2;
	while (x < n) {
		if (n % x == 0) {
			System.out.print(x + " ");
			n = n / x;
			x = 2;
		} else {
			x++;
		}
	}
	System.out.println(n);
}
