A352155 Numbers m such that the smallest digit in the decimal expansion of 1/m is 1, ignoring leading and trailing 0's.

1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 24, 26, 28, 32, 35, 54, 55, 56, 60, 64, 65, 66, 70, 72, 74, 75, 80, 82, 88, 90, 100, 104, 112, 128, 140, 175, 176, 224, 240, 260, 280, 320, 350, 432, 448, 468, 504, 512, 528, 540, 548, 550, 560, 572, 576, 584, 592, 600, 616, 625, 640, 650, 660

Comments

Leading 0's are not considered, otherwise every integer >= 11 would be a term (see examples).

Trailing 0's are also not considered, otherwise numbers of the form 2^i*5^j with i, j >= 0, apart from 1 (A003592) would be terms.

If k is a term, 10*k is also a term; so, terms with no trailing zeros are all primitive terms.

{8, 88, 888, ...} = A002282 \ {0} is a subsequence.

Formula

A352153(a(n)) = 1.

Example

m = 14 is a term since 1/14 = 0.0714285714285714285... and the smallest term after the leading 0 is 1.
m = 240 is a term since 1/240 = 0.00416666666... and the smallest term after the leading 0's is 1.
m = 888 is a term since 1/888 = 0.001126126126... and the smallest term after the leading 0's is 1.
