%N a(n) is the smallest number which has n consecutive divisors k, k+1, ..., k+n-1 such that the quotients all begin with the same digit.

%C The smallest values of k corresponding to the first 22 terms are 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8, 12, 12, 12, 14, 14, 14, 16, 18, 20, 19, 19, 20, 22, 24. Since m > 0 and 2*m never share the first digit, k is always greater than or equal to n. - _Giovanni Resta_, May 14 2020
