Klaus Brockhaus, Table of n, a(n) for n=1..54
EXAMPLE
For n = 2 the smallest such k is 80: 80^2 = 6400 and 6+4+0+0 = 10; 80^3 = 512000 and 5+1+2+0+0+0 = 8; 10*8 = 80. Hence a(2) = 80.
For n = 3 the smallest such k is 70: 70^3 = 343000 and 3+4+3+0+0+0 = 10; 70^4 = 24010000 and 2+4+0+1+0+0+0+0 = 7; 10*7 = 70. Hence a(3) = 70.
MAPLE
P:=proc(n) local a, i, j, k, w, x; for a from 1 by 1 to n do for i from 1 by 1 to n*n do w:=0; k:=i^a; j:=0; x:=i^(a+1); while k>0 do w:=w+k-(trunc(k/10)*10); k:=trunc(k/10); od; while x>0 do j:=j+x-(trunc(x/10)*10); x:=trunc(x/10); od; if (i=w*j and i>1) then print(i); break; fi; od; od; end: P(1000);
