Happy Numbers

This post is bound to put a big smile on your face. Why? Because we are going to talk about HAPPY NUMBERS!!

So what are happy numbers?
1) Start with a positive integer [e.g. 23]
2) Replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits [2^2 + 3^2 = 13]
3) Repeat the process until the number either EQUALS TO 1 or it loops endlessly and not reach 1, like this:

4) Numbers for which the process ends with 1 are HAPPY NUMBERS :)  and those that do not, are sad numbers :( [which means 23 is a HAPPY NUMBER!]

There are many happy numbers of course, with 1 being the smallest happy number, DUH. To simply see if a number you have thought of is happy, click here and use the happy number calculator to check!
