In the Collatz sequence, what operation is applied if the number is odd?
The Collatz sequence is a sequence of numbers where starting from any positive integer if the number is even divide it by 2 and if it’s odd multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat the process and the sequence eventually reaches 1. This conjecture remains unsolved.
This chapter helps students explore numbers in different ways. It covers number patterns and basic operations like addition subtraction multiplication and division. The chapter also introduces concepts such as factors multiples prime numbers and divisibility rules. Mastering these concepts strengthens problem-solving skills and mathematical thinking.

The correct answer is “Multiply by 3 and add 1”. In the Collatz sequence, if the number is odd, it is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added to the result. This operation continues until the number eventually reaches 1. The sequence follows the pattern: if odd, multiply by 3 and add 1; if even, divide by 2.
