is the conjecture that the Collatz sequence always reaches 1. The sequence is defined by starting with some integer and performing the following operations repeatedly:
• If is odd, the next is .
• If is even, the next is .
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.
{n0} took {steps_n} steps to get to 1, and reached a maximum intermediary number of {max}.
