%N Smallest positive integer which when written in base n is doubled when the last digit is put first.

%C a(n) is the smallest integer of the form x*(n^d-1)/(2n-1) for integer x and d, where 1 < x < n and d > 1. x is the last digit and d is the number of digits of a(n) in base n. - _Pontus von Brömssen_, Jan 06 2019

%H Pontus von Brömssen, <a href="/A087502/b087502.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 3..221</a>

%e a(10) = 105263157894736842 because 2*105263157894736842 = 210526315789473684 and no smaller number has this property. (Leading zeros are not allowed, otherwise 2*052631578947368421 = 105263157894736842 would be a smaller solution.)

%p A087502 := proc(n) local d,a; d := 1; a := n; while a>=n do d := d+1; a := denom((2^d-1)/(2*n-1)); od; return(max(2,a)*(n^d-1)/(2*n-1)); end proc;

%Y See A158877 for these numbers written in base n. Cf. A023094, A034089, A081463, A087502.
