A Curious Construction

Questions

What do you notice and wonder?





Questions

Is there any number pattern in it?


Are the numbers written on both the circles related to each other? If yes, how?

 


Reveal:


This awe-inspiring construction begins with a simple task-

  1. Place any four numbers around a circle.
  2. For all the pairs of adjacent numbers subtract the smallest number from the larger.
  3. Write the result on the outer concentric circle.
  4. Repeat

Eventually, as you continue the process, you will find that your circle of operations has evolved into four identical numbers.
