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.

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.

Note:

  1. 1 is typically treated as an ugly number.
  2. Input is within the 32-bit signed integer range: [−231, 231 − 1].

Solutions

1. Iterative

# Time: O(n)
# Space: O(1)
class Solution:
    def isUgly(self, num: int) -> bool:
        if num <= 0:
            return False
        
        for p in [2, 3, 5]:
            while num % p == 0:
                num /= p
        return True if num == 1 else False

# Your runtime beats 46.09 % of python3 submissions
# Your memory usage beats 100 % of python3 submissions (12.8 MB)

2. Recurrence

# Time: O(n)
# Space: O(1)
class Solution:
    def isUgly(self, num: int) -> bool:
        if num <= 0:
            return False
        if num == 1:
            return True
        if num % 2 == 0:
            return self.isUgly(num / 2)
        if num % 3 == 0:
            return self.isUgly(num / 3)
        if num % 5 == 0:
            return self.isUgly(num / 5)
        return False

# 1012/1012 cases passed (28 ms)
# Your runtime beats 76.39 % of python3 submissions
# Your memory usage beats 100 % of python3 submissions (12.7 MB)
