Abstract

In this paper, we use simple divisibility property of integers to provide a generalization to the ``Repetitious NumberPuzzle" found in   The Second Scientific American Book of Mathematical Puzzles and Diversions  by Martin Gardner. We also show that the solution to the generalized repetitious number puzzle provides a particular recreational application of the sequences A000533 and A261544 in   The On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).
