How many rounds does the number 5683 take to reach the Kaprekar constant?

  • -10

Starting with 5683, arrange digits in descending and ascending order. Subtract smaller from larger repeatedly:
8653 − 3568 = 5085
8550 − 0558 = 7992
9972 − 2799 = 6174.
It takes three rounds.

  1. For 5683, following the Kaprekar process:
    1. Arrange digits: 8653 (largest) and 3568 (smallest). Subtract: 8653 − 3568 = 5085.
    2. Repeat: 8550 − 0558 = 7992.
    3. Finally: 9972 − 2799 = 6174.
    It takes three rounds to reach the Kaprekar constant, 6174. This process consistently converges to 6174 for any 4-digit number (with non-identical digits), showcasing Kaprekar’s mathematical discovery.
