    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!

    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 )
