%N A014553 Maximal multiplicative persistence (or length) of any n-digit number.
%C A014553 The "persistence" or "length" of an N-digit decimal number is the number 
               of times one must iteratively form the product of its digits until 
               one obtains a one-digit product (For another definition see A003001.)
%C A014553 For all other n<2530, a[n]=11 because sequence is non-decreasing and 
               a number with multiplicative persistence 12 must have more than 2530 
               digits. - Sascha Kurz (sascha.kurz(AT)uni-bayreuth.de), Mar 24 2002
