Abstract

For coprime integers ,μ2\ell,\mu\ge 2, Alanazi, Munagi, and Saikia (2026) studied R,μ(n)\overline{R}_{\ell,\mu}(n), the number of overpartitions of nn in which no part is divisible by \ell or by μ\mu, together with the single-modulus analogue \overline{R}_{\ell (n). We record a simple combinatorial mechanism that determines both functions modulo every power of 22 in terms of the number of distinct part sizes of the underlying ordinary partition. We also deduce a clean characterization of R(n)\overline{R}_{\ell}(n) and R,μ(n)\overline{R}_{\ell,\mu}(n) modulo 44 in terms of perfect squares.
