Check if a number is a Happy Number, plus do research on a range and put results into the Clipboard.
Happy Numbers Research Extension
This Chrome Extension is designed to check if a number is a Happy Number, and allows research across a range of numbers.
Maths & IT teachers, or those running Maths or IT clubs, may find this tool useful for educational purposes. It will introduce students to the concept of Happy Numbers, and allow them to explore the properties of these numbers. At the same time it will help them to develop their skills in using a spreadsheet to analyse data.
The concept of Happy Numbers is a mathematical concept that is both fun and interesting.
A Happy Number is a number that, when repeatedly replaced by the sum of the squares of its digits, eventually reaches the value 1.
If a number reaches 1, it is considered happy. If it enters a cycle that doesn't include 1, the number is considered unhappy (or sad).
For example:
19 -> 1+81=82
82 -> 64+4=68
68 -> 36+64=100
100 -> 1+0+0=1 (So, we have a Happy Number)
4 -> 16
16 -> 1+36=37
37 -> 9+49=58
58 -> 25+64=89
89 -> 64+81=145
145 -> 1+16+25=42
42 -> 16+4=20
20 -> 4+0=4 (So, we have a Sad Number)
Use this Extension as follows:
Enter a number to check if it is a Happy Number, and click the appropriate button.
Use the range feature to check multiple numbers, and then place the results into the Clipboard. Click the appropriate button to initiate.
The maximum range that can be input is 30,000 numbers, but Browser Clipboard size constraints may lower this limit. If you want to research more than 30,000 numbers you could do this in multiple chunks.
The Clipboard will contain a heading in the first row, and then a row per number in a comma-delimited format showing:
Number, Iterations needed to determine the Happiness State, Final Number in the Sequence, and Happiness State (Y for Yes, N for No).
The contents of the Clipboard can then be copied into a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, or another application of your choice.
When pasting into a spreadsheet, different spreadsheets will treat the data differently. For example, Apple Numbers will automatically split the data into columns, but Microsoft Excel may require you to use the Text to Columns feature, and Google Sheets the Split to Column feature, both features found under the Data menu item.
Also, very large numbers are allowed, and could be shown in scientific notation in some spreadsheets, and so these will need to be converted to text to show the full number.
Once the data is in the spreadsheet, there will be very many ways that you can then use the data to create charts, graphs, and other visual representations to help you understand the data.
The number of ways that the data can be analysed is vast, from looking at the density of Happy Numbers within a range, along with Iterations & Final Number patterns, so, this tool is a great way to introduce students to the concept of data analysis and the use of spreadsheets.
Clicking on the logo will show the version of the Extension.
Please note that the popup window can be resized and moved around. To close the popup, click the Close Happy Numbers Research button.
Enjoy Happy Numbers Research, and you never know, you may discover some very interesting insights, but whatever else, have fun!
