public static boolean what (Node n)
{
   if (n == null)
	return true;
   if (n.getLeftSon()==null && n.getRightSon()==null)
	return true;
   if (n.getRightSon()==null)
	return (n.getNumber() % n.getLeftSon().getNumber() == 0)

        what (n.getLeftSon());
   if (n.getLeftSon()==null)
	return (n.getNumber() % n.getRightSon().getNumber() == 0) 
			&&
        what (n.getRightSon());

   return (n.getNumber() % n.getLeftSon().getNumber() == 0) 
     &&   (n.getNumber() % n.getRightSon().getNumber() == 0)
     &&	what (n.getLeftSon()) 
     &&	what (n.getLeftSon());
}

I think that the method checks for sons which are zeros, in case she find out, she return false, else she returns true? right ?

Returns true if each "father" can be divided by each of their "sons". false even if one of the fathers cannot be divided by theirs sons. If a node is null, it does not check it and returns true.

Then if I'll take the tree (attached file) the returns value will be false ?

It will return false. 4 cannot be divided by 8 and 16 cannot be divided by 32
