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”).

A257664
a(1)=1; a(n+1) is the smallest positive integer not yet used where the digits of the decimal expansion (disregarding all leading and trailing zeros) of a(n)/a(n+1) have no digit in common with either a(n) or a(n+1).

COMMENTS
Positive powers of ten (A011557) and pandigital numbers (A050289 and A171102) will never appear.
Is the sequence finite?

EXAMPLE
a(2) is 2 because it is the smallest number not yet used where the digits of a(1)/a(2) = .5, i.e., 5, is neither 1 nor 2.
a(3) is 3 because it is the smallest number not yet used where the digits of a(2)/a(3) = .666.., i.e., 6, is neither 2 nor 3.
a(4) is 4 because it is the smallest number not yet used where the digits of a(3)/a(4) = .75, i.e., 5 and 7, are neither 3 nor 4.
a(72) is 63 because it is the smallest number not yet used where the digits of a(71)/a(72) = 90/63 = 1.42857142857.., i.e., 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8, are not any of 0, 3, 6, or 9.
a(376) is 15000 because it is the smallest number not yet used where the digits of a(375)/a(376) = 1025/15000 = .068333.., i.e., 3, 6, and 8 (the zero is leading) are not any of 0, 1, 2, or 5.
