%N Super-3 Numbers (3n^3 contains substring '333' in its decimal expansion).

%C For any term a(n), all numbers a(n)*10^k, k >= 0, are also in the sequence. More interestingly, all numbers N == 471 (mod 1000) are in the sequence, since 471^3*3 == 333 (mod 1000). - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 16 2024

%e 1752 is in the sequence since 3 * 1752^3 = 161'333'13024.
