%N Powers of 3 written in base 26. (Next term contains a non-decimal digit.)
%C Aliquot divisors of 1089. - _Omar E. Pol_, Jun 10 2014
%C The above comment refers to the first 8 terms only. The next term would contain a digit 18, commonly coded as I, if A, B, ... are used for digits > 9. But this does not mean that the sequence is finite. Many other encodings of digits > 9 are conceivable (e.g., using 000, 100, 110, ..., 250 for digits 0, 10, 11, ..., 25). - _M. F. Hasler_, Jun 22 2018
