The 1500'th ugly number is <number>.

#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
	int un[1505]={0};
	int m2=0,m3=0,m5=0,i,t;
	un[0]=1;
	for(i=1;i<1500;i++)
	{
		if(2*un[m2]>3*un[m3])
			t=un[m3]*3;
		else
			t=un[m2]*2;
		if(t>un[m5]*5)
			t=un[m5]*5;

		if(t == 2*un[m2]) m2++;
		if(t == 3*un[m3]) m3++;
		if(t == 5*un[m5]) m5++;

		un[i]=t;
	}
	printf("The 1500'th ugly number is %d.\n",un[1499]);
	return 0;
