If anyone is interested in this question, now there are OEIS draft and repository with detailed data.


Let $n,b\in\mathbb{N}$ and $P_{n_b}$ is polynomial whose coefficients are digits of $n$ in base $b$.
Let $Q_{1}(x) \cdot Q_{2}(x) \cdots Q_{m}(x)$ - polynomial factorization (over integers) of $P_{n_b}$.
I'm interested in coefficients of such factorization, especially union of all factor's coefficients $\mathcal{U}(n,b)$ of a given polynomial.

Let $n$ successively increase from $1$. From the previous responses I learned that:

I've found numerically that there are certain patterns in the order
in which integer $z$ firstly appear
in $\mathcal{U}(n,b)$
E.g. for $b=2$:
$1,0,-1,2,-2,3,-3,\{-4,4\},\{-5,5\},\{-6,6\},\{-7,7\},\{-8,8\},\dots$
(starting with $-4$ integers appear in pairs simultaneously)
Part of table for $b=10$:

z 1 2 .. 9 10 -1 -2 .. 10 -9
n 1 2 .. 9 0 1001 1008 .. 28119 108009
z -10 -11 .. 18 -14 ..
n 621489 730158 .. 10809909 10951149 ..

Are there any algebra or number theories laws behind these patterns, or it's just kind of misconception?
