Hamming Numbers are numbers whose only prime factors are 2, 3 and 5. They are named after Richard Hamming but became famous (or notorious) after Edsger Dijkstra posed the question of how to efficiently enumerate them in numeric order.
Hamming Numbers (a.k.a. regular numbers) are numbers whose only prime factors are 2, 3 and 5. They are named after Richard Hamming but became famous (or notorious) after Edsger Dijkstra posed the question of how to efficiently enumerate them in numeric order. They are a particular case of more general smooth numbers.
