Some puzzles goes as follows: Solve AB×B×A=BBB, where different letters denote different numbers and A and B are not zero.
What is the name for these types of puzzles?
Edit. I fixed my mistake in the puzzle, now it has solution.

This is a type of puzzle called a "cryptarithm" or an "alphametic". We have many examples of this type of puzzle under the alphametic tag.
(And for completeness, the answer)
A=3, B=7. This is because BBB is divisible by 111, so we must have either 37 or 74 in any factorisation of BBB (37 is prime) into 1 or 2 digit numbers. Trying both, only AB=37 works.
