Motivated by the m = 10 analog A231470 which in turn was motivated by A231155, simply a repetition of (n-1) times the same digit A231470(n).
Periodic with period 210. Possible values are 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10. - Robert Israel, Jul 03 2020

Robert Israel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 10 because 10 is the largest integer less than 11 and it's coprime to 1.
a(2) = 9 because 10 is not coprime to 2 but 9 is.
a(6) = 7 because 10, 9 and 8 are not coprime to 6 = 2*3.
a(210) = 1 because 210 = 2*3*5*7 is not coprime to any number n > 1, n < 11.
MAPLE
f:= proc(n) local k;
for k from 10 by -1 do if igcd(n, k)=1 then return k fi od
end proc:
map(f, [$1..210]); # Robert Israel, Jul 03 2020
