Project Euler Problem 74: https://projecteuler.net/problem=74
|
||
|
|
||
|
The number 145 is well known for the property that the sum of the factorial of its
|
||
|
digits is equal to 145:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1! + 4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 = 145
|
||
|
|
||
|
Perhaps less well known is 169, in that it produces the longest chain of numbers that
|
||
|
link back to 169; it turns out that there are only three such loops that exist:
|
||
|
|
||
|
169 → 363601 → 1454 → 169
|
||
|
871 → 45361 → 871
|
||
|
872 → 45362 → 872
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is not difficult to prove that EVERY starting number will eventually get stuck in
|
||
|
a loop. For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
69 → 363600 → 1454 → 169 → 363601 (→ 1454)
|
||
|
78 → 45360 → 871 → 45361 (→ 871)
|
||
|
540 → 145 (→ 145)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Starting with 69 produces a chain of five non-repeating terms, but the longest
|
||
|
non-repeating chain with a starting number below one million is sixty terms.
|
||
|
|
||
|
How many chains, with a starting number below one million, contain exactly sixty
|
||
|
non-repeating terms?
