Formula

a(n) = A077306(n)/n. - Amarnath Murthy, Nov 03 2002

Example

a(11) = 82737383012865106529 as 11*82737383012865106529 = 910111213141516171819 is the concatenation of 11 numbers from 9 to 19.

Mathematica

f[ n_ ] := Block[ {id = Range@n}, While[ k = FromDigits@ Flatten@ IntegerDigits@ id/n; !IntegerQ@k, id++ ]; k ]; Array[ f, 16 ] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Oct 19 2007 *)
