The Conjecture
Start with any positive integer n. If n is even, divide it by 2. If n is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Repeat. The conjecture states that you will always eventually reach 1, no matter what number you start with.
The 3n+1 Problem
Start with any positive integer n. If n is even, divide it by 2. If n is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Repeat. The conjecture states that you will always eventually reach 1, no matter what number you start with.
