Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
The bound a(i) > 6 is motivated by the fact that 1, 2, 4 and 6 are Niven numbers in every base.

EXAMPLE
a(8) = 24 because 24 is the smallest k > 6 which is Niven in bases 1 (trivial), 2,..., 8. For example, 24 = (33)_7 = (44)_5 = (220)_3.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Block[{k=7}, n > 1 && While[ Max@ Mod[k, Total /@ IntegerDigits[k, Range[2, n]]] > 0, k++]; k]; Array[a, 20]
