Make all numbers of an array equal

Given an array arr[], the task is to make all the array elements equal with the given operation. In a single operation, any element of the array can be either multiplied by 2 or by 3. If its possible to make all the array elements equal with the given operation then print Yes else print No.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {50, 75, 100}
Output: Yes
{50 * 2 * 3, 75 * 2 * 2, 100 * 3} = {300, 300, 300}

Input: arr[] = {10, 14}
Output: No

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Approach: Any positive integer number can be factorized and written as 2^a * 3^b * 5^c * 7^d * …..
We can multiply given numbers by 2 and 3 so we can increase a and b for them. So we can make all a and b equal by increasing them to the same big value (e.g. 100). But we can’t change powers of other prime numbers so they must be equal from the beginning. We can check it by diving all numbers from input by two and by three as many times as possible. Then all of them must be equal.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function that returns true if all  
// the array elements can be made equal 
// with the given operation 
bool EqualNumbers(int a[], int n) 
{ 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { 
  
        // Divide number by 2 
        while (a[i] % 2 == 0) 
            a[i] /= 2; 
  
        // Divide number by 3 
        while (a[i] % 3 == 0) 
            a[i] /= 3; 
    } 
  
    // Remaining numbers 
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) 
        if (a[i] != a[0]) { 
            return false; 
        } 
  
    return true; 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    int a[] = { 50, 75, 150 }; 
  
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]); 
  
    if (EqualNumbers(a, n)) 
        cout << "Yes"; 
    else
        cout << "No"; 
  
    return 0; 
} 

Java

// Java implementation of above approach 
class GFG  
{ 
  
    // Function that returns true if all  
    // the array elements can be made equal  
    // with the given operation

    { 
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)

            // Divide number by 2  
            while (a[i] % 2 == 0)  
            { 
                a[i] /= 2; 
            } 
  
            // Divide number by 3  
            while (a[i] % 3 == 0) 
            { 
                a[i] /= 3; 
            } 
        } 
  
        // Remaining numbers  
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)  
        { 
            if (a[i] != a[0]) 
            { 
                return false; 
            } 
        } 
  
        return true; 
    } 
  
    // Driver code  
    public static void main(String[] args)  
    { 
        int a[] = {50, 75, 150}; 
  
        int n = a.length; 
  
        if (EqualNumbers(a, n))  
        { 
            System.out.println("Yes"); 
        }  
        else
