First n such that a(n) = k: 1, 4, 5, 2, 74, 94, 305, 2975 for k = 1 to 8.
a(n) <= 8 for n <= 240000000. Is a(n) ever greater than 8?
a(n) <= 8 for n <= 10^11. Moreover the only n <= 10^11 with a(n) = 8 are 2975 * 10^j. - Robert Israel, Apr 05 2024
a(n) <= 8 for n <= 10^13, and a(n) <= 17 for all n; see A275533. - Michael S. Branicky, Apr 08 2024

FORMULA
a(n) <= A098174(n).
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 4 because 3^1, 3^2 = 9 and 3^3 = 27 have no 1's, but 3^4 = 81 does have a 1.
MAPLE
g:= proc(n) local k;
for k from 1 do if member(1, convert(n^k, base, 10)) then return k fi od;
end proc:
