Abstract
In this note, a necessary and sufficient condition for the n-divisibility of a random variable (r.v.) with support contained in {0, 1, 2,...} is given. Next a characterization of the geometric distribution is obtained. Also bounds for P(X = k+1) are given when the distribution of an infinitely divisible r.v. X is known to coincide with the geometric distribution at the points 0, 1,..., k.
