In the Mood for Some Recreational 'Math'?
Saturday December 30, 2006
Have a little fun with Kaprekar's Constant. You can take any four-digit number and re-arrange the digits in decreasing order. (All digits MUST be different.) Then, take the number and order the digits from lowest to highest and subtract from the number you ordered from high to low, repeat the process. What do you come up with? Kaprekar's Constant.

In fact you can discover Kaprekar series for different number of digits using the Kaprekar Series Generator at http://kaprekar.sourceforge.net/
