Comments

Base-7 variant of A173426 (base 10) and A173427 (base 2). See A260853 - A260866 for variants in other bases.

The base 7 is not listed in A260343, because a(7) = A260851(7) = 131870760799 = 12345610654321_7 is not prime and therefore not in A260852. See these sequences for more information.

Examples

			a(0) = 0 is the result of the empty sum corresponding to 0 digits.
a(2) = 64 = (7+1)^2 = 7^2 + 2*7 + 1 = 121_7 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 1).
a(8) = 316621469105950 = 123456101110654321_7 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 10, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), where the middle "10, 11, 10" are the base-7 representations of 7, 8, 7.
