    Abstract: The objective of this article is to demonstrate the Collatz Conjecture through the Sets and Binary Numbers Theory, in this manner: 2n + 2n-1+...1. This study shows that there are subsequences of odd numbers within the Collatz sequences, and that by proving the proposition is true for these subsequences, it is subsequently proven that the entire pro...
