COMMENTS
Conjecture: For any positive integer starting value n, iterations of n -> n + (largest digit of n) will eventually join A045844.
LINKS
EXAMPLE
a(25)=3 because the trajectory for 1 (sequence A045844) starts
1->2->4->8->16->22->24->28->36->42->46...
and the trajectory for 25 starts
25->30->33->36->42->46->52->57...
so the sequence beginning with 25 joins A045844 after 3 steps.
