Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N First multiple of n whose reverse is also divisible by n, or 0 if no such multiple exists.
%C a(81) = 999999999. 10^27-1 is a solution for a(3^5), but it may not be the smallest one. However, it seems likely (and perhaps easy to prove) that a(3^i) is 3^(i-2) "9"s, for i > 1. - _Jud McCranie_, Aug 07 2001
%C a(3^5)=4899999987<10^27-1 so Jud McCranie's conjecture "for n>1, a(3^n)=10^3^(n-2)-1 " is incorrect. I found a(3^n) for n<21; A112726 gives this subsequence. From the terms of A112726 we see that for n>4, a(3^n) is much smaller than 10^3^(n-2)-1. It seems that only for n=2,3 & 4 we have a(3^n)=10^3^(n-2)-1. - _Farideh Firoozbakht_, Nov 13 2005
%e 48 and 84 are both divisible by 12.
