ReplyDeleteits (6) 1357201
I believe the answer is intended to be 2357201?
ReplyDeleteBut it seems to me that the first term of the sequence does not fit and should perhaps be omitted?
Starting with 161 I agree, but starting with 15 I get:
15,165,1815,19965,219615,2415765

its 1357201...
ReplyDeleteit should be

The answer is 2357201.

161 : 1 (1+5) 1
1771 : 1 (1+6) (6+1) 1
19481 : 1 (1+7+1) (7+7) (7+1) 1
214291 : 1+1 (1+9+1) (9+4+1) (4+8) (8+1) 1
The first term is "2" because of the carry over from (1+9+1)
1357201 : 1 (2+1) (1+4) (4+2+1) (2+9+1) (9+1)1
The first term returns to "1" because there is no carry over from (2+1)
