%H Robert G. Wilson v, <a href="/A131839/b131839.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a> (first 2048 terms from Antti Karttunen)

%F a(n) = A031286(A014566(n)). - _Antti Karttunen_, Dec 15 2017

%e Sierpinski number 257 --> 2+5+7 = 14 --> 1+4 = 5 thus persistence is 2.

%e The sixteenth Sierpinski number is 16^16 + 1 = 18446744073709551617 --> 1+8+4+4+6+7+4+4+0+7+3+7+0+9+5+5+1+6+1+7 = 89 --> 8+9 = 17 --> 1+7 = 8, thus a(16) = 3 because in three steps we obtain a number < 10. - _Antti Karttunen_, Dec 15 2017
