Try something like:

        int n = 123123;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        String sep = "";
        while (n > 0) {
            int nybble = n & 0xFF;
            sb.insert(0, sep);
            sb.insert(0, String.format("%02X", nybble));
            sep = " ";
            n >>>= 8;
        }
        System.out.println(sb.toString());

Did you know that you can append StringBuilder calls? So you can do sb.insert(0, sep).insert(0, String.format("%02X", nybble));

> Did you know that you can append StringBuilder calls?< You mean chain calls. Yes, I did but I thought the code might be a bit clearer for not doing that in this particular case.

You could do it like this

convert the value to uppercase hex
prepend a "0" based on length
then split and rejoin (the regex splits on the zero width area after every two characters).

for (int val : new int[] { 123123, 122, 94392, 9200812 }) {
    String valStr = String.format("%X",val);
    valStr = (valStr.length() % 2 == 0 ? "" : "0") + valStr;
    String result = String.join(" ", valStr.split("(?<=\\G(..))"));
    System.out.printf("%7d = %10s = %s%n", val, valStr, result);
}

Prints

 123123 =     01E0F3 = 01 E0 F3
    122 =         7A = 7A
  94392 =     0170B8 = 01 70 B8
9200812 =     8C64AC = 8C 64 AC
