COMMENTS
When M is a q-digit term, then M is a divisor of 10^(q+1) + 1.
For each term k in A329914, there exist a set of numbers M_k which, when 1 is placed at both ends of M_k, the number M_k is multiplied by k. This sequence gives the smallest integer M(k) = M of each set {M_k}.
See A329914 for further information about these numbers.

EXAMPLE
A329914(1) = 21 and 21 * 91 = 1[91]1, and there is no integer < 91 that satisfies this relation, so a(1) = 91.
A329914(2) = 23 and 23 * 77 = 1[77]1, and there is no integer < 77 that satisfies this relation, so a(2) = 77.
A329914(5) = 33 and 33 * 4347826087 = 1[4347826087]1, and there is no integer < 4347826087 that satisfies this relation, so a(5) = 4347826087.
