%N Smallest power of 14 whose decimal expansion contains n.
%C This is to 14 as A176763 is to 3 and as A030001 is to 2.

%F a(n) = MIN{A001023(i) such that n in decimal representation is a substring of A001023(i)}.
%e a(1) = 1 because 14^0 = 1 has "1" as a substring (not a proper substring, though).
%e a(2) = 2744 because 14^3 = 2744 has "2" as a substring.
%e a(3) = 38416 because 14^4 = 38416 has "3" as a substring.
