Persistent Number

An n-persistent number is a positive integer k which contains the digits 0, 1, ..., 9 (i.e., is a pandigital number), and for which 2k, ..., nk also share this property. No infty-persistent numbers exist. However, the number k=1234567890 is 2-persistent, since 2k=2469135780 but 3k=3703703670, and the number k=526315789473684210 is 18-persistent. There exists at least one k-persistent number for each positive integer k.
