COMMENTS

a(1) = 12, a(n) = smallest concatenation of next successive natural numbers that is a multiple of n, or 0 if no such concatenation exists.

a(1) = 1 would have given a trivial sequence 1,2,3,4,5....

Every partial concatenation is a left substring of the concatenation of natural numbers.

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 34 = 2*17; a(7) = 17181920 = 7*2454560.
