\n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
document.write( "48 is divisible by 2: 48 = 24 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "24 is divisible by 2: 24 = 12 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "12 is divisible by 2: 12 = 6 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "6 is divisible by 2: 6 = 3 * 2.\n" );
document.write( "3 is not divisible by anything.\n" );
