Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
The initial terms in the sequence are multiples of either 7 or 13, but the sequence is not exclusively so. a(45) = 297 whose factors include neither 7 nor 13. Next is a(57) = 407 whose factors are 11 and 37.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 7 because 1/7 = 0.142857142857142857+, whose repeating decimal (142857) is 6 digits long.
a(57) = 407 because 1/407 = 0.0024570024570024+, whose repeating decimal (002457) is 6 digits long.
