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(10*m-1)=0 for all m>0 since if k*n is pandigital for all k=1,...,10*m-1, then m*n is pandigital and so is 10*m*n. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 10 2012

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