Equal Digits Crossed Quotient Quandary (Posted on 2022-04-26) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The 4-digit positive integer 2022 has an interesting property. It has precisely three equal digits and is divisible by the sum of the digits, that is, 6.

Now the quotient obtained by dividing this number by the sum of the digits is: (2022)/6=337, which is a 3-digit number with precisely two equal digits.

Determine six positive 4-digit positive integers, each of them having the above-mentioned properties, that immediately follows 2022.

How many 4-digit positive integers (no leading zeros) with the foregoing properties precede 2022?

*** Remember: the quotient must have precisely 3 digits, exactly two of which must be equal.

The example in the problem is one of 9 that follow
(1011n)/(3n)=337
I found four more sporadic cases by hand:
3383/17=199
3888/27=144
4454/17=262
7776/27=288

Unless I missed any, the answers to the question posed are thus
3033, 3383, 3888, 4044, 4454, 5055
and
