Leetcode: Factor Combinations

Numbers can be regarded as product of its factors. For example,

8 = 2 x 2 x 2;
  = 2 x 4.
Write a function that takes an integer n and return all possible combinations of its factors.

Note: 
Each combination's factors must be sorted ascending, for example: The factors of 2 and 6 is [2, 6], not [6, 2].
You may assume that n is always positive.
Factors should be greater than 1 and less than n.
Examples: 
input: 1
output: 
[]
input: 37
output: 
[]
input: 12
output:
[
  [2, 6],
  [2, 2, 3],
  [3, 4]
]
input: 32
output:
[
  [2, 16],
  [2, 2, 8],
  [2, 2, 2, 4],
  [2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
  [2, 4, 4],
  [4, 8]
]

这题就是不停的DFS, 直到 n == 1. 有个判断条件 if (item.size() > 1)  是为了防止答案是自己本身n, 按照题意, 这是不允许的.

参考了:http://www.meetqun.com/thread-10673-1-1.html

时间复杂度, 个人觉得是O(n*log(n)), 一开始觉得是O(n!), 但後来想想好像没那麽大. 我的想法是,
最一开始的for回圈是n, 但是一旦进入了下一个DFS, 每次最差都是 n / i在减小, 这边就是log(n), 所以总共是O(n*log(n)), 有错还请指正.
