Let "n" be that integer number.


We are given that  (n-61) is divisible by 88.


Hence,  (n-61) is divisible by 11.


It is the same as to say that ((n-55)-6) is divisible by 11.     (*)


Since 55 is divisible by 11, (*) implies that (n-6) is divisible by 11.


It means that the number n gives the remainder 6 when is divided by 11.


ANSWER.  The remainder when the same number is divided by 11 equals to 6.
