Here's your answer
Kaprekar's constant of 6174 is notable for the following property:
1) Take any four-digit number with at least two digits different.
2) Arrange the digits in ascending and then in descending order to get two four-digit numbers, adding leading zeros if necessary.
3) Subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
4) Go back to Step #2.
The above operation will always reach 6174 in at most seven steps and it stops there.
Once 6174 is reached, the process will keep yielding 7641 – 1467 = 6174.
The only four-digit numbers for which this function does not numbers whose digits are all identical (e.g., 2222) as they yeild zero after a single iteration.
