COMMENTS
Iteration of the map x -> A098189(x) enters cycles of various lengths.
The 29 terms in the first cycle where A098190(x)=29 are listed here in ascending order; the example section of A098190 shows them in the mapping order.
See other attractors in A098191-A098195.
EXAMPLE
The cycle follows the mapping 3768 -> 4440 -> ... -> 2210-> 3768 (returning to the first element).
This cycle is entered, for example, if the mapping is started at x=246 (Cf. A098190).
