%C a(81) = 999999999. 10^27-1 is a solution for a(3^5), but it may not be the smallest one. However, it seems likely (and perhaps easy to prove) that a(3^i) is 3^(i-2) "9"s, for i > 1. - _Jud McCranie_, Aug 07 2001

%C a(3^5)=4899999987<10^27-1 so Jud McCranie's conjecture "for n>1, a(3^n)=10^3^(n-2)-1 " is incorrect. I found a(3^n) for n<21; A112726 gives this subsequence. From the terms of A112726 we see that for n>4, a(3^n) is much smaller than 10^3^(n-2)-1. It seems that only for n=2,3 & 4 we have a(3^n)=10^3^(n-2)-1. - _Farideh Firoozbakht_, Nov 13 2005

%e 48 and 84 are both divisible by 12.
