Abstract

In this work, we consider some algebraic properties of k-balancing numbers. We deduce some formulas for the greatest common divisor of k-balancing numbers, divisibility properties of k-balancing numbers, sums of k-balancing numbers and simple continued fraction expansion of k-balancing numbers.
