Think of FOUR numbers...


For example 8 ; 3 ; 4 ; 2.


Now combine them to make the largest and the smallest number 8432 ; 2348.


Take the smaller from the larger

8432-2348 = 6084...


Make the largest and the smallest combination of this new number,
8640 ; 0468.


Subtract the smaller from the larger.
Answer: 8172.

Now do it again...

8721-1278 = 7443...

7443-3447 = 3996..

Keep going. Will you ever end at 0?



Now try these numbers 8 ; 3 ; 2 ; 6. What happens?
