| |
| '''495''' is the integer after 494 and before [[496 (number)|496]]. It is a [[pentatope number]] (and so a [[binomial coefficient]] <math> \tbinom {12}4 </math>).
| |
| | |
| == Kaprekar transformation ==
| |
| | |
| The Kaprekar transformation is defined as follows for three-digit numbers:
| |
| # Start with a three-digit number with at least two digits different.
| |
| # Arrange the digits in ascending and then in descending order to get two three-digit numbers, adding leading zeros if necessary.
| |
| # Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
| |
| # Go back to step 2.
| |
| | |
| Repeating this process will always reach 495 in a few steps. Once 495 is reached, the process stops because 954 – 459 = 495.
| |
| | |
| === Example ===
| |
| | |
| For example, choose 589:
| |
| | |
| :985 − 589 = 396
| |
| :963 − 369 = 594
| |
| :954 − 459 = '''495'''
| |
| | |
| The only three-digit numbers for which this function does not work are [[repdigit]]s such as 111, which give the answer [[0 (number)|0]] after a single iteration. All other three-digits numbers work if leading zeros are used to keep the number of digits at 3:
| |
| | |
| :211 – 112 = 099
| |
| :990 – 099 = 891 (rather than 99 - 99 = 0)
| |
| :981 – 189 = 792
| |
| :972 – 279 = 693
| |
| :963 – 369 = 594
| |
| :954 − 459 = '''495'''
| |
| | |
| The number [[6174 (number)|6174]] has the same property for the four-digit numbers.
