Examples
The number 9 is 1001 in binary. The maximum number using the same number of 0's and one's is found and the minimum number having the same number of 0's and 1's is found to obtain the equation such as 1100 - 0011 = 1001. Repeating the same procedure always gives us the same number and pattern of 0's and 1's. Therefore 9 is one of the Kaprekar numbers. Numbers that end the procedure in 0 are excluded since they are not Kaprekar numbers.

Mathematica
nmax = 100; f[n_] := Module[{id, sid, min, max}, id = IntegerDigits[n, 2]; min = FromDigits[sid = Sort[id], 2]; max = FromDigits[Reverse[sid], 2]; max - min]; Reap[Do[If[(fpn = FixedPoint[f, n]) > 0, Sow[fpn]], {n, 1, nmax}]][[2, 1]] (* Jean-François Alcover, Apr 23 2017 *)
Formula
1. Sort all integers from the number in descending order 2. Sort all integers from the number in ascending order 3. Subtract ascending from descending order to obtain a new number 4. Repeat the steps 1-3 with a new number until a repetitive sequence is obtained or until a zero is obtained. 5. Call the repetitive sequence's number a Kaprekar number, ignore zeros.
