H is a function that for many numbers H(n)=n, but some give troublesome results.
Here are a few examples:
H(480)=1
H(737)=20
H(1000)=300000000
H(5600)=15
H(134423)=1482000000000
What's the rule for the H function, which can be troublesome for people who should use a real database?
The H function, when used by Excel, basically does two things even though it's supposed to just do the first.
If a number is changed, it often has a few zeros (or even a lot of zeros) at the end.
480 is the smallest number for which H(n) is not n.
H(481)=10
H(482)=100
H(483)=1000
H(736)=2
H(738)=200
