In base 12 the sequence is 6, 56, 556, 5556, 55556, 555556, 5555556, 55555556, 555555556, 5555555556, and so on.
If r is the cyclic replacement map in base 10, then the only positive integers n with the property that r(n^2)=r(n)^2 appear to be 5, 45. For example, r(45^2)=r(2025)=3136=56^2=r(45)^2.
FORMULA
a(n) = 5*(12^n - 1)/11 + 1. - Max Alekseyev, Jul 27 2023
EXAMPLE
a(2)=66 since, in base 12, 66=56, r(56)=67 and r(56^2)=r(2630)=3741=67^2.
