What is Ugly Number

Ugly numbers are those positive numbers whose only prime factors are 2, 3 or 5.

Examples

Number to check : 10  

Prime Factors : 2,5 

Prime Factors only contain either 2,3 or 5 : Yes // 10 is an Ugly number

Number to check : 120  

Prime Factors : 2,3,5

Prime Factors only contain either 2,3 or 5 : Yes // 120 is an Ugly number

Below are examples of numbers that are NOT Ugly numbers.

Number to check : 19  

Prime Factors : 19

Prime Factors only contain either 2,3 or 5 : No // 19 is NOT an Ugly number

Number to check : 42  

Prime Factors : 2,3,7

Prime Factors only contain either 2,3 or 5 : No // 42 is NOT an Ugly number

List of Ugly numbers from 1 to 10 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10

Java Program for Ugly Number

import java.util.Scanner; 

public class JavaHungry {
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    {
        System.out.println("Enter any number: ");
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        // Store the input number
        Integer inputNumber = scan.nextInt();
        checkUglyNumber(inputNumber);
    }
    
    public static void checkUglyNumber(Integer inputNumber)
    {
        int num = inputNumber;
        /* Loop will run until
        num becomes 1 */
        while(num != 1)
        {
            if (num % 2 == 0)
                num /= 2;
            else if (num % 3 == 0)
                num /= 3;
            else if (num % 5 == 0)
                num /= 5;    
            else
            {
                System.out.println(inputNumber + " is NOT an Ugly Number");
                /* Come out of the loop,
                method has void return type */
                return;
            }    
        }
        System.out.println(inputNumber + " is an Ugly Number");
    }
}

Output:
Enter any number: 
90
90 is an Ugly Number

Algorithm for Ugly Number

1. Store the inputNumber in num variable.
2. Using while loop
    a. Continue if 2, 3 or 5 are the factors of num.
    b. Break the loop and return empty if num has prime factors other than 2, 3 or 5.  
3. If num value becomes 1 during while loop then print inputNumber is an Ugly number.
