%N a(n) = smallest positive multiple of n that, when represented in binary, contains the binary representations of all positive integers <= n at least once each.
%e 5*15 = 75, which is 1001011 in binary. 1 (1 in decimal) occurs like this: (1)001011. 10 (2 in decimal) occurs like this: (10)01011. 11 (3 in decimal) occurs like this: 10010(11). 100 (4 in decimal) occurs like this: (100)1011. And 101 (5 in decimal) occurs like this: 100(101)1. No other smaller positive multiple of 5 contains all the binary representations of the integers 1 to 5. So a(5) = 75.
