What is a Collatz Conjecture?

Answer by  Shurephyre (37)

The Collatz Conjecture is an unsolved conjecture in math named after Lothar Collatz. It is also known as the 3n+1 conjecture. Given any natural number, if it is even, divide by two. If odd, multiply by three and add one. Repeat these steps indefinitely and you will always reach one.

It is a product used to do researches in mathematics using internet connected computers for testing it, known as 3x+1 or HOTPO. We can download and run a free software.

The Collatz Conjecture states that starting from any whole positive number, if you halve that number when even or triple it and add one when odd, then repeat indefinitely, you will always end up with 1. The conjecture is currently unproven.

Unsolved mathematical conjecture, also known as 3n + 1 conjecture. Take any number (n) greater than 0 - halve it it's even triple if uneven. All numbers converges to 1.

It's an unsolved math conjecture, proposed by Lothar Collatz, an old german Mathematician. It's also been called the HOTPO sometimes. No matter what you do, you end up with #1.

The Collatz Conjecture is an extremely difficult to understand math problem that has yet to be solved. Basically, it states that when you divide a number by two and then, if it is an odd number multiply it by three and add one, you will eventually reach 1.
