To determine if 508 is a happy number or unhappy number, we square each digit in 508 and then add those numbers together.
Then we repeat the process for the result until either the result turns to 1 or we realize it will never be 1.
If it becomes a 1, then it is a happy numbers. Otherwise, it is an unhappy number.
Here is the math to make it more clear:
52 + 02 + 82 = 89
82 + 92 = 145
12 + 42 + 52 = 42
We kept doing the math above and it just started looping the same numbers and never got to 1. Since, we did not get to 1,
508 is an:
Unhappy Number
