Is the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints part of the Mormon religion?

Yes. In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is usually considered the Mormon religion.
There are a handful of small religious groups who broke away from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Scholars sometimes consider these break-off groups to be Mormon since they share a similar background.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not accept members of these break-off groups as Mormon and insist that they are the only church with rights to the name "Mormon". When someone refers to the Mormon Church, they are referring to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
There are over 14 million baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide, while those belonging to the various break-off groups number less than 500,000 combined.
Properly, the members of the church can be called "Mormons", as a nickname, but the only proper name of the church itself, is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints".

∙ 10y agoYes. Actually, they are essentially the same thing.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the official name of what is commonly called the "Mormon" church. Mormon is a nickname given to them because of their belief in the Book of Mormon.
The word "Mormon" also sometimes refers to other small groups who have broken off of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

∙ 9y ago"Mormon" is a nickname for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Mormons. The nickname was originally a derogatory slur based on their belief in the Book of Mormon, which they use as scripture in addition to The Bible. However, the church and most of it's members have since embraced the nickname (as evidenced by the church's official website, Mormon.org) although they still prefer that the full name of the church or the abbreviation LDS be used.

What was Howard Hughes's religion?
Howard Hughes was born in 1905 and baptismal records in an Episcopalian church in his home state of Iowa show he was baptised into that religion. Towards the end of his life, Hughes was heavily influenced by The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latterday Saints (the Mormon Church) who surrounded him because he claimed they were the only people he could trust, although he never became a Mormon himself. Upon Hughes's death in 1976, The Mormon Church produced a will in which Hughes had donated approximately 1.5 billion dollars to various charities. Hughes's relatives contested the will produced by the The Mormon Church. The American courts rejected that particular will two years later. He was declared intestate and his wealth was eventually divided amongst his family.
