public static int assertions(int n) { 
    int x = 2; 
    // Point A
    while (x < n) { 
        // Point B
        if (n % x == 0) { 
            n = n / x; 
            x = 2; 
            // Point C
        } else { 
            x++; 
            // Point D
        } 
    } 
    // Point E
    return n; 
}
