%C A007496 Comments from Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Jul 20 2005 
               (Start): Equivalently, numbers n such that 10^n is the product of 
               two integers without any zero digits.
%C A007496 The first number must be some power of 2, the second the same power of 
               5. Such a pair is the only positive solution because neither factor 
               could have both a 2 and a 5 in its prime factorization, or else it 
               would be a multiple of 10 and would thus have a 0 as its last digit, 
               which is ruled out. "We may wonder what powers of 10 are products 
               of two integers without any zero digits. For large numbers, this 
               is very unlikely because there will normally be 10% of zeros among 
               many random digits... In fact, there seems to be only 11 possibilities... 
               The probability is roughly (0.9)^n that the n-th power of 10 would 
               yield a solution. So the expected number of solutions above the n-th 
               power of 10 is someting like 10*(0.9)^n. Since we've actually checked 
               that there's no other solution below n = 1500, we can be very confident 
               that we've not missed anything..."
