There are 8 forty-four-digit terms in the sequence. Further terms are obtained (a) by inserting at the center of these terms either any number of 0's (for 16914079504181797053273763831171860502859028, 46492964703403651468863122584458570244070436, 65181741002635316783463471248546280094182933) or any number of 9's (for the other five terms) and (b) by concatenating a term any number of times with itself and inserting an equal number of 0's at all junctures. Method (b) may be applied recursively to all terms. - Clarified by Ray Chandler, Oct 14 2017.
