COMMENT

The persistence of a number is the number of times you need to multiply the digits together before reaching a single digit. a(3) and a(4) seem not to exist.

FORMULA

a(n) = 6*n-[n/120] for n > 119

EXAMPLE

a(9)=394 because 394=[477]->[237]->[46]->[26]->[13]->[3] and no smaller n has persistence 5 in base 9.
