Try this out!
Take any four digit number such that all the digits cannot be the same. Eg; 9813,2221,5573 is possible but not 1111,2222...
Now rearrange this number so that the larger digit is first then smallest is the last;
let say 5573, so 7553.
Then arrange the smallest digit first then largest digit last, so 3557.
Take the larger number form and deduct it with the smaller number form,
i.e, 7553 - 3557 = 3996
Do it same for the number formed, i.e, 3996, and keep doing so,
i.e, 9963 - 3699 =6264
6642 - 2466 =4158
8541 - 1458= 7083
8730- 378= 8352
8532 - 2358= 6174
7641 - 1467 = 6174
Try it with any other 4 digit number that the digits are not all the same and it will always reach 6174!
