“The numbers 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, and 999 are all evenly divisible by 37, leaving no remainder.” (via @pickover) Using base 10 notation, a three-digit number, say aaa, can be written as 100a+10a+a=a(100+10+1)=a111. Clearly, 111 is a divisor of aaa (111=37×3), but also of 222, 333, … Hence, all three-digit numbers that are multiple of 111 will fit the bill.
