%N a(n) is the smallest k > 6 such that k is a Niven number at least in all the bases from 1 to n.
%C The bound a(i) > 6 is motivated by the fact that 1, 2, 4 and 6 are Niven numbers in every base.

%e a(8) = 24 because 24 is the smallest k > 6 which is Niven in bases 1 (trivial), 2,..., 8. For example, 24 = (33)_7 = (44)_5 = (220)_3.
