The Collatz conjecture

is the conjecture that the Collatz sequence always reaches 1. The sequence is defined by starting with some integer n0 and performing the following operations repeatedly:

If n is odd, the next n is 3n+1.

If n is even, the next n is n÷2.

No-one has been able to prove the conjecture yet, so this calculator lets you try out any number to check if it reaches 1! As of 2020, the conjecture has been tested up to 268 (295,147,905,179,352,825,856) [source].
You can use this calculator to test any number you want.

This is the number at which the collatz sequence will start.
