COMMENTS

Concatenation always begins at n-1 and cannot go further than n-n (zero). Hence the maximum value of a(n) is n.

EXAMPLE
|
a(8) = 6 because will divide the number formed by concatenating the 6 integers prior to 8 in descending order (i.e. 765432). 8 will not divide any lesser number of previous terms concatenated together beginning with 7 (i.e. 8 will not divide 7, 76, 765, 7654, or 76543). a(7) = 0 because 7 will not divide 6, 65, 654, 6543, 65432, 654321, or 6543210.
