COMMENTS
The idea of this sequence comes from a problem in the annual Moscow Mathematical Olympiad (MMO) in 2003: Level A, problem 2. The problem only asks to find a ten-digit number that has the property of the name.
When an integer k belongs to this sequence, the integer 111..11//k obtained by concatenation // of 111..11 and k is also a term; hence, there are primitive terms as 28, 214, 239, 266, 318, 326, ... (A340908).
A subset of it is formed by the numbers 239, 326, 364, 497, 563, 598, 613, 637, 695, 819, 1239, 1326, 1364, 1497, 1563, 1598, 1613, 1637, 1695, 1819, 2139, 2313, 2356, 2369, ... for which the number obtained after adding the product of the digits has exactly the same digits (they are obtained by permuting the digits of the initial number). So, 239 + 2*3*9 = 239 + 54 = 293, 326 + 3*2*6 = 326 + 36 = 362, 3235 + 3*2*3*5 = 3235 + 90 = 3325, 23286 + 2*3*2*8*6 = 23286 + 576 = 23862. - Marius A. Burtea, Sep 24 2019
This subset is A247888. - Bernard Schott, Jul 22 2020

EXAMPLE
28 + 2*8 = 44 and 2*8 = 4*4 hence 28 is a term.
326 + 3*2*6 = 362 and 3*2*6 = 3*6*2 hence 326 is another term.
