title: Iterated digits squaring
id: 5a23c84252665b21eecc7ec1
challengeType: 5

## Description
<section id='description'>
If you add the square of the digits of a Natural number (an integer bigger than zero), you always end with either 1 or 89:
<pre>15 -> 26 -> 40 -> 16 -> 37 -> 58 -> 89
7 -> 49 -> 97 -> 130 -> 10 -> 1</pre>
Write a function that takes a number as a parameter and returns 1 or 89 after performing the mentioned process.

## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function iteratedSquare (n) {
var total;
while (n != 89 && n != 1) {
total = 0;
while (n > 0) {
total += Math.pow(n % 10, 2);
n = Math.floor(n/10);
}
n = total;
}
return n;
}
