Davide Rotondo mentioned the Harshad numbers earlier today. Coincidentally (?) Numberphile had a video about them yesterday.
Harshad numbers seem way more interesting than the usual digit-fiddling stuff that pervades recreational mathematics. Several interesting conjectures in the video.

Nice video!
I was surprised to see my value of A060159(17) cited there. In fact, just a few days ago I was thinking about starting an HPC project to fill up the gaps in A060159.
Regards,
Max

It was mentioned that 432! is the first non-Harshad factorial. I did try searching the OEIS but there does not appear to be a sequence for such numbers - or at least I couldn't find it. I would expect that they would get more common with increasing n.

Ah, thanks for that! It is quite hard with only one term to go off if you don't match the right keywords!

As I expected, it does get more common, and quite quickly by the looks of it.

Joshua.
