[seqfan] Re: Digits concatenation

[Harvey P. Dale]

	I'm not sure why the largest integer, x/y, is not always
obtained when y=1 and x equals the largest number that can be created
with the remaining digits.  For example, for a(7), 765432/1=765432?  I
know that 1 is a permissible value for y because that's the example for
a(2) that Paolo provided.

	Best,

	Harvehy

HI Paolo, seqfans, I found this values:
without 0:

a(6)= 2346/51= 46, a(7)= 3426/571=6, a(8)= 3456/1728 = 2 a(9)=
13458/6729=2

with 0:

a(6)= 304/152=2, a(7)= 1046/523=2, a(8)= 10352/647=16, a(9)=
10476/5328=2

Best,
