Enter Natural Number

Using the Collatz Conjecture

Go from 69 to 1

This takes 14 steps

We start with n = 69

Step 1 of 14 → n = 69

69 is odd

Multiply 3 by 69 and add 1

3(69) + 1

207 + 1

208

Step 2 of 14 → n = 208

208 is even

Divide 208 by 2

208 ÷ 2 = 104

Step 3 of 14 → n = 104

104 is even

Divide 104 by 2

104 ÷ 2 = 52

Step 4 of 14 → n = 52

52 is even

Divide 52 by 2

52 ÷ 2 = 26

Step 5 of 14 → n = 26

26 is even

Divide 26 by 2

26 ÷ 2 = 13

Step 6 of 14 → n = 13

13 is odd

Multiply 3 by 13 and add 1

3(13) + 1

39 + 1

40

Step 7 of 14 → n = 40

40 is even

Divide 40 by 2

40 ÷ 2 = 20

Step 8 of 14 → n = 20

20 is even

Divide 20 by 2

20 ÷ 2 = 10

Step 9 of 14 → n = 10

10 is even

Divide 10 by 2

10 ÷ 2 = 5

Step 10 of 14 → n = 5

5 is odd

Multiply 3 by 5 and add 1

3(5) + 1

15 + 1

16

Step 11 of 14 → n = 16

16 is even

Divide 16 by 2

16 ÷ 2 = 8

Step 12 of 14 → n = 8

8 is even

Divide 8 by 2

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Step 13 of 14 → n = 4

4 is even

Divide 4 by 2

4 ÷ 2 = 2

Step 14 of 14 → n = 2

2 is even

Divide 2 by 2

2 ÷ 2 = 1

Final Answer

1 in 14 steps
