Abstract
The Kaprekar Routine is a famous mathematical procedure involving the digits of a positive integer. This paper offers natural generalizations of the routine, states and proves related results, and presents many open problems that are suitable for mathematical research at the undergraduate level. In the process, we shed light on some interesting facts about digit games.
