2413. Smallest Even Multiple

Description

Given a positive integer n, return the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both 2 and n.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 5
Output: 10
Explanation: The smallest multiple of both 5 and 2 is 10.

Example 2:

Input: n = 6
Output: 6
Explanation: The smallest multiple of both 6 and 2 is 6. Note that a number is a multiple of itself.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 150

Solutions

Solution 1: Mathematics

If $n$ is even, then the least common multiple (LCM) of $2$ and $n$ is $n$ itself. Otherwise, the LCM of $2$ and $n$ is $n \times 2$.

The time complexity is $O(1)$.
