C++: Multiplicative Digital Root

The multiplicative digital root (MDR) and multiplicative persistence (MP) of a number, $n$ , is calculated rather like the Digital root except digits are multiplied instead of being added:

Set $m$ to $n$ and $i$ to $0$ .
While m has more than one digit:
- Find a replacement $m$ as the multiplication of the digits of the current value of $m$ .
- Increment $i$ .
Return $i$ (= MP) and $m$ (= MDR)

Task

Tabulate the MP and MDR of the numbers 123321, 7739, 893, 899998
Tabulate MDR versus the first five numbers having that MDR, something like:

MDR: [n0..n4]
===  ========
  0: [0, 10, 20, 25, 30]
  1: [1, 11, 111, 1111, 11111]
  2: [2, 12, 21, 26, 34]
  3: [3, 13, 31, 113, 131]
  4: [4, 14, 22, 27, 39]
  5: [5, 15, 35, 51, 53]
  6: [6, 16, 23, 28, 32]
  7: [7, 17, 71, 117, 171]
  8: [8, 18, 24, 29, 36]
  9: [9, 19, 33, 91, 119]

	}
	cout << "+----------+----------+----------+\n\n";
	table();

}

Output:
