%N Smallest power of 7 whose decimal expansion contains n.

%C This is to 7 as A176763 is to 3 and as A030001 is to 2.

%F a(n) = MIN{A000420(i) such that n in decimal representation is a substring of A000420(i)}.

%F a(n) = 7^A062524(n). - _Michel Marcus_, Sep 30 2014

%e a(1) = 1 because 7^0 = 1 has "1" as a substring (not a proper substring, though).

%e a(2) = 2401 because 7^4 = 2401 has "2" as a substring.

%e a(3) = 343 because 7^3 = 343 has "3" as a substring.

%t A176767[n_] := Block[{k = -1}, While[StringFreeQ[IntegerString[7^++k], IntegerString[n]]]; 7^k]; Array[A176767, 50, 0] (* _Paolo Xausa_, Apr 03 2024 *)
