A046197 Fixed points for operation of repeatedly replacing a number with the sum of the cubes of its digits. 26

%I #36 May 14 2020 07:41:17

%S 0,1,153,370,371,407

%N Fixed points for operation of repeatedly replacing a number with the sum of the cubes of its digits.

%C Suppose n has d digits; then the sum of the cubes of its digits is <= 729d and n >= 10^(d-1). So d <= 5. It is now easy to check that the numbers shown are the only solutions. [Corrected by _M. F. Hasler_, Apr 12 2015]
