One may use an example of 753, which is divisible by 357 with a remainder of 39.
Divide by 17 and one gets a remainder of 5.
Try 1110, which is the same thing and divide by 17 and get a remainder of 5.
When you divide by 17, the remainder of 39 is also divided by 17, and that remainder is 5.

Since each time one divides the unknown number by 357, we get a remainder of 39, and since 17 goes into 357 evenly, we know that 17 goes into 39 twice more leaving a remainder of 5.
The answer is 5.
