The number 145 is well known for the property that the sum of the factorial of its digits is equal to 145: ~~~ 1! + 4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 = 145 ~~~ Perhaps less well known is 169, in that it produces the longest chain of numbers that link back to 169; it turns out that there are only three such loops that exist: ~~~ 169 -> 363601 -> 1454 -> 169 871 -> 45361 -> 871 872 -> 45362 -> 872 ~~~ It is not difficult to prove that EVERY starting number will eventually get stuck in a loop. For example, ~~~ 69 -> 363600 -> 1454 -> 169 -> 363601 (-> 1454) 78 -> 45360 -> 871 -> 45361 (-> 871) 540 -> 145 (-> 145) ~~~ Starting with 69 produces a chain of five non-repeating terms, but the longest non-repeating chain with a starting number below one million is sixty terms. How many chains, with a starting number below one million, contain exactly sixty non-repeating terms?
