%N The minimal number which has multiplicative persistence 6 in base n.
%C The persistence of a number is the number of times you need to multiply the digits together before reaching a single digit. a(5)=1811981201171874, a(6) seems not to exist.

%F a(n) = 7*n-[n/720] for n > 719.
%e a(13) = 439 because 439 = [2'7'10]->[10'10]->[7'9]->[4'11]->[3'5]->[1'2]->[2] needs 6 steps and no fewer n.
