Converging Root
Problem
Consider the iterative formula, $u$$n$+1 =
$u$$n$ + 2. By investigating the behaviour it should become clear that all positive starting values converge to the limit 4.
What form must the positive integer, $m$, take, for the iterative formula, $u$$n$+1 =
$u$$n$ + $m$, to converge to an integral root?
