%N a(n) = number formed by concatenating the decimal digits of 44, 45, 46, ..., 44+n.

%C This is an instance of a sequence arising in A332580.

%C As of Feb 24 2020, it is an open question as to whether there is an N such that a(N) is divisible by 44+N+1. If such an N exists, N > 10^11, as shown by _Joseph Myers_ (see A332580).

%C We have now shown that N = 2783191412912. See A332580 and the attached paper. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Apr 28 2020
