Enter Natural Number
Using the Collatz Conjecture
Go from 25 to 1
This takes 23 steps
We start with n = 25
Step 1 of 23 → n = 25
25 is odd
Multiply 3 by 25 and add 1
3(25) + 1
75 + 1
76
Step 2 of 23 → n = 76
76 is even
Divide 76 by 2
76 ÷ 2 = 38
Step 3 of 23 → n = 38
38 is even
Divide 38 by 2
38 ÷ 2 = 19
Step 4 of 23 → n = 19
19 is odd
Multiply 3 by 19 and add 1
3(19) + 1
57 + 1
58
Step 5 of 23 → n = 58
58 is even
Divide 58 by 2
58 ÷ 2 = 29
Step 6 of 23 → n = 29
29 is odd
Multiply 3 by 29 and add 1
3(29) + 1
87 + 1
88
Step 7 of 23 → n = 88
88 is even
Divide 88 by 2
88 ÷ 2 = 44
Step 8 of 23 → n = 44
44 is even
Divide 44 by 2
44 ÷ 2 = 22
Step 9 of 23 → n = 22
22 is even
Divide 22 by 2
22 ÷ 2 = 11
Step 10 of 23 → n = 11
11 is odd
Multiply 3 by 11 and add 1
3(11) + 1
33 + 1
34
Step 11 of 23 → n = 34
34 is even
Divide 34 by 2
34 ÷ 2 = 17
Step 12 of 23 → n = 17
17 is odd
Multiply 3 by 17 and add 1
3(17) + 1
51 + 1
52
Step 13 of 23 → n = 52
52 is even
Divide 52 by 2
52 ÷ 2 = 26
Step 14 of 23 → n = 26
26 is even
Divide 26 by 2
26 ÷ 2 = 13
Step 15 of 23 → n = 13
13 is odd
Multiply 3 by 13 and add 1
3(13) + 1
39 + 1
40
Step 16 of 23 → n = 40
40 is even
Divide 40 by 2
40 ÷ 2 = 20
Step 17 of 23 → n = 20
20 is even
Divide 20 by 2
20 ÷ 2 = 10
Step 18 of 23 → n = 10
10 is even
Divide 10 by 2
10 ÷ 2 = 5
Step 19 of 23 → n = 5
5 is odd
Multiply 3 by 5 and add 1
3(5) + 1
15 + 1
16
Step 20 of 23 → n = 16
16 is even
Divide 16 by 2
16 ÷ 2 = 8
Step 21 of 23 → n = 8
8 is even
Divide 8 by 2
8 ÷ 2 = 4
Step 22 of 23 → n = 4
4 is even
Divide 4 by 2
4 ÷ 2 = 2
Step 23 of 23 → n = 2
2 is even
Divide 2 by 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1
Final Answer
1 in 23 steps
