a(9) is 0 because any 9-persistent number is also 10-persistent. Indeed, if n is pandigital, 10*n is pandigital as well.
In the same way, a(10m-1)=0 for all m>0 since if kn is pandigital for all k=1,...,10m-1, then mn is pandigital and so is 10mn. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 10 2012

EXAMPLE
k=36492195078 is the smallest number such that k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, and 6k, each contain all ten digits, but 7k=255445365546 contains only five of the ten, so a(6)= 36492195078.
