A062293
Smallest multiple k*n of n which has even digits and is a palindrome or becomes a palindrome when 0's are added on the left (e.g., 10 becomes 010, which is a palindrome).

COMMENTS
Every integer n has a multiple of the form 99...9900...00. To see that n has a multiple that's a palindrome (allowing 0's on the left) with even digits, let 9n divide 99...9900...00; then n divides 22...2200...00. - Dean Hickerson, Jun 29 2001
EXAMPLE
a(7) = 686 as 686 = 98*7 is the smallest palindrome multiple of 7 with even digits.
PROG
