# 263 Ugly Number

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`. For example,`6, 8`are ugly while`14`is not ugly since it includes another prime factor`7`.

Note that`1`is typically treated as an ugly number.

* Notes:
  * It's important to not the property of associative of numbers when dividing. E.g. if we divide the number by 2 as much as we can, and then divide any number of times by 3, then within any of those instances, we wouldn't be able to divide by 2. We can for example, generate primes using the same, but iterative approach to this problem.

```cpp
bool isUgly(int num) 
{
    if (num < 0 || num == 1) return true;

    while (num % 2 == 0)
        num /= 2;
    while (num % 3 == 0)
        num /= 3;
    while (num % 5 == 0)
        num /= 5;

    return (num == 1);
}
```

```cpp
vector<int> get_primes(long long n)
{
    vector<int> primes;
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
        while (n % i == 0) {
            n /= i;
            primes.push_back(i);
        }
    }
    if (n != 1) primes.push_back(n);
    return primes;
}

int main()
{
    vector<int> all_primes = get_primes(480);
    print(all_primes);

    all_primes = get_primes(58);
    print(all_primes);

    all_primes = get_primes(79);
    print(all_primes);
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://maksimdan.gitbook.io/interview-practice-problems/leetcode_sessions/263-ugly-number.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
