Abstract
The \textit{Collatz's conjecture} is an unsolved problem in mathematics. It is named after Lothar Collatz in 1973. The conjecture also known as Syrucuse conjecture or problem. Take any positive integer . If is even then divide it by , else do "triple plus one" and get . The conjecture is that for all numbers, this process converges to one. In the modular arithmetic notation, define a function as follows: In this paper, we present the proof of the Collatz conjecture for many types of sets defined by the remainder theorem of arithmetic. These sets are defined in mods and we took only odd positive remainders to work with. It is not difficult to prove that the same results are true for any mod for positive integers .
