263. Ugly Number

Easy

Problem Explanation

Explanation

To determine if a number is ugly, we repeatedly divide it by 2, 3, and 5 as long as it is divisible by any of these numbers. If the final result is 1, then the original number is ugly. Otherwise, it is not ugly. We can implement this approach in a loop and return true if n equals 1 at the end.

  • Time complexity: O(log n) - where n is the input number
  • Space complexity: O(1)

Solution Code

class Solution {
    public boolean isUgly(int n) {
        if (n <= 0) return false;
        
        for (int i = 2; i < 6 && n > 0; i++) {
            while (n % i == 0) {
                n /= i;
            }
        }
        
        return n == 1;
    }
}
