Abstract:

A positive integer n is called a b-prodigious number if n is divisible by the product of its non-zero base-b digits. In this article, we investigate the maximum length of an arithmetic progression of b-prodigious numbers and the maximal length of consecutive sequences of b-prodigious numbers.
