%N Smallest positive integer requiring n syllables to pronounce in American English.
%C Assumes the American usage of billion, trillion, etc. ("short scale"), which makes a difference from a(59) on.
%C See A002810 for the British English version, which in particular includes the additional "and", e.g., in "one hundred and seven". Therefore the sequences differ from a(6)=111 on, with A002810(6)= 107. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 03 2013

%F a(n) = min{ k | A075774(k)=n }. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 03 2013
%F a(n+11) = a(n)*1000+777, as long as a(n+11) is less than one quadrillion (whatever scale is used). - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 03 2013
