By factorizing 2014 2014 , we get that 2014 = 2 × 19 × 53 2014=2\times 19\times 53 f ( f ( f ( 2014 ) ) ) = f ( f ( 74 ) ) f(f(f(2014)))=f(f(74))

By factorizing 74 74 , we get that 74 = 2 × 37 74=2\times 37 f ( f ( 74 ) ) = f ( 39 ) f(f(74))=f(39)

Finally, by factorizing 39 39 , we get that 39 = 3 × 13 39=3\times 13 f ( 39 ) = 16 f(39)=16

Hence, the value of f ( f ( f ( 2014 ) ) ) f(f(f(2014))) is 16 16
