Collatz Conjecture (3N+1) Solution
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Collatz Conjecture (3x+1) or in some literature as 3N+1 is a problem because it works in the way that if you take any positive number, if it is an odd number you multiply it by three (3) then add one (1). On the other hand, if it is an even number, you divide it by two (2). Eventually, all positive numbers decrease to one (1). One (1) is odd, so multiply it by three (3) is three (3) and add one (1) is four (4). Four (4) is even, so divide it by two (2) is two (2). Two (2) is also even, so divide it by two (2) is one (1) again. All positive numbers end up in the loop (4-2-1). This loop is like a numerical lock. Therefore, the solution of this problem will have to be a numerical key results to all positive numbers.
