Kaprekar's Constant A Brief Introduction to Number Theory D. R. Kaprekar (1905-1986) was an Indian mathematician, "who described several classes of natural numbers, including the Kaprekar, Harshad, and Self Numbers." He also discovered the Kaprekar Constant, which is the focus of this lab, and is the result of the following process: ( 1 ) Choose any four-digit number with at least two unique digits (ie not 1 1 11, 2222 9999): 8974 (2) Rearrange the digits in the number in descending and ascending order, forming two new numbers: 9874, 4789 (3) Subtract the smaller number from the larger number, resulting in a new four-digit number: 9874-4789 5085 (4) Using the new n umbe r resulting in step 3, repeat steps 2-3 for a maximum of seven Note: The result of step 3 may sometimes be a three-digit number, such as 999, for example, you start with the number 1000 For the sake of the process, this may be viewed as having a zero in the thousands place: 0999. This way, when you repeat step 2 you will subtract 0999 from 9990 to get 8991. Kaprekar Path of the Integer 8002 10000 443 7000 6000 5000 174 E 4000 4176 1000
