Java Display the Prime Factorization of a number

Question

So for my assignment, I have to write a program that asks the user for an integer input and then print out that number\'s prime factorization. This is what I have:

Answer 1

remove the if (count == 0) {continue;} statement from the while loop and put it after it, in the for loop. :)

for (int i = 2; i<=(number); i++) {
        count = 0;
        while (number % i == 0) {
            number /= i;
            count++;
        }
        if(count==0) continue;
        System.out.println(i+ "**" + count);
    }
