Comments

A number with 10*n digits may have all ten digits (0-9) repeated n times. The probability of this is (10n)!/((n!)^10 * 10^((10*n)-10^(10*n-1)). There are 10^10-10^(10-1/n)) numbers which are n-th powers of 10-digit numbers. So there may exist Count=(10n)!*(10^10-10^(10-1/n)))/((n!)^10 * 10^((10*n)-10^(2*n-1)) numbers with the desired property.

From a(23) to a(110) the only terms which exist are a(24)=9793730157, a(26)=9347769564, a(35)=9959167017, and a(38)=9501874278. (The other values of a(n) are -1.) - Zhining Yang, Oct 05 2022

Example

a(18) = 9829440591, so each digit (0-9) appears 18 times in the decimal expansion of 9829440591^18.
