Collatz Conjecture Calculator This is a calculator that can calculate every step, starting with any positive integer. About the Collatz Conjecture The Collatz conjecture, named after Lothar Collatz of Germany, proposed the conjecture in 1937. The conjecture states you must begin with any positive integer n: If it is an even number then halve it, or if it is an odd number then triple it and add 1. Do this recursively, and your result should always reach 1. In simpler terms: 1) Determine starting integer 2) If the starting integer is an even number, divide it by two. If it is an odd number, multiply it by three and add one. 3) Repeat the process from Step 2 on the answer until you get to one.
