Source of Name

This entry was named for Dattathreya Ramchandra Kaprekar.


Historical Note

The modified Kaprekar process is reported by David Wells in his $1997$ work Curious and Interesting Numbers, 2nd ed. to appear in volume $22$ Journal of Recreational Mathematics on page $34$ in an article authored by Charles Wilderman Trigg, but this has not been corroborated.

The term modified Kaprekar process was invented by $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ as a convenient way to refer to this process.

As such, it is not generally expected to be seen in this context outside $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
