Twenty two is divisible by two.
Thirty three is divisible by three
Forty four is divisible by four
Fifty five is divisible by five
etc
etc
So logic tells you that
Eleventy eleven is divisible by eleven
Eleventy eleven being 1111
Although most people would call that
One thousand one hundred and eleven !

It is, indeed, a real number!
English
eleven + -ty, from Old English hundendleftig (also spelled hund-endleofantig, hund-endlyftig, and hund-ælleftig). Popularized in the 20th century by J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Numeral
eleventy
(informal) The number 110, 11 × 10.
Compounds with other numerals: eleventy-one (111), eleventy-six (116)
Eleventy 11 then is 110 + 11 = 121
121/11 = 11
And IS DIVISIBLE!

Yes, eleven goes into eleventy eleven eleven times with eleven left over.

seventy seven = 70 + 77 is divisible by 11
If the number system continued that way, eleventy eleven would mean 110 + 11.
So the idea is sort of correct, except that we call that number 121.
You may have been joking, but in case you really are unsure, notice that the tens go as
ninety 90, one hundred 100, one hundred and ten 110, one hundred and twenty 120 and so on.

In a number system with a base higher than ten, numbers higher than nine are assigned new symbols: typically 10 becomes a, eleven becomes b, twelve becomes c, etc. In such a system, eleventy eleven would be “bb”. Considering that 44 is divisible by 4, and 99 is divisible by 9, one might assume that bb is divisible by b. (Note: bb would be 11 x base + 11. Dividing by 11 yields base + 1 )

Yes. 101 times...
