COMMENTS

The persistence of a number is the number of times you need to multiply the digits together before reaching a single digit. a(5)=1811981201171874, a(6) seems not to exist.

FORMULA

a(n) = 7*n-[n/720] for n > 719

EXAMPLE

a(13)=439 because 439=[2'7'10]->[10'10]->[7'9]->[4'11]->[3'5]->[1'2]->[2] needs 6 steps and no fewer n.
