Numbers n where n * (x-1)/x produces a rotation that would have a first digit of zero are omitted.
Where n * (x-1)/x produces a rotation, x is a factor of n.
The first term where more than one value of x produces a rotation for a(n) * (x-1)/x is a(47) = 87804: 87804 * 8/9 = 78048 and 87804 * 11/12 = 80487. The first term where more than two values of x produce a rotation is a(186) = 857142: 857142 * 1/2 = 428571, 857142 * 2/3 = 571428, and 857142 * 5/6 = 714285.
The first term where a(n) * (x-1)/x produces a rotation that itself appears in this sequence is a(4) = 432: 432 * 3/4 = 324 = a(3).
If all of the digits in a(n) <= 4, then a(n)*2 also appears; if all of the digits in a(n) <= 3, then a(n)*3 also appears; if all of the digits in a(n) <= 2, then a(n)*4 also appears. Similarly, if each of the digits in a(n) are a multiple of some number k, then a(n)/k also appears.
Where ABC represents the digits in a(n), then ABCABC, ABCABCABC, ... also appear in the sequence with the same value(s) of x.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 54, 54 * 5/6 = 45;
a(9) = 918, 918 * 33/34 = 891.
