263. Ugly Number

1. Description

Write a program to check whether a given number is an ugly number.
Ugly numbers are positive numbers whose prime factors only include 2, 3, 5.

2. Example

Example 1:
Input: 6
Output: true
Explanation: 6 = 2 × 3

Example 2:
Input: 8
Output: true
Explanation: 8 = 2 × 2 × 2

Example 3:
Input: 14
Output: false
Explanation: 14 is not ugly since it includes another prime factor 7.

3. Note

  • 1 is typically treated as an ugly number.
  • Input is within the 32-bit signed integer range: [$−2^{31}$, $2^{31} − 1$].

4. Solutions

My Accepted Solution

n = number
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)

class Solution 
{
public:
    // bool isUgly(int num)
    bool isUgly(int number) 
    {
        if(number == 0) return false;
        
        while(true)
        {
            if(number == 1) return true;
            else if(number % 2 == 0) number /= 2;
            else if(number % 3 == 0) number /= 3;
            else if(number % 5 == 0) number /= 5;
            else return false;
        }
    }
};
