\n" ); document.write( "As tutor ikleyn showed, the problem as you show it is not very interesting, because it has an infinite number of solutions.

\n" ); document.write( "So I'm wondering if, perhaps due to a language difficulty, you stated the problem incorrectly.

\n" ); document.write( "I suspect the problem was supposed to say that, when the numbers 95, 112, 214, and 231 are divided by a natural number n, the remainders are all the same.

\n" ); document.write( "If that is the case, the problem is much easier to solve.

\n" ); document.write( "The differences between any two of the given numbers are all multiples of 17, so the answer would be that n is 17.

\n" ); document.write( "That is, the numbers 95, 112, 214, and 231, when divided by 17, all leave the same remainder, 10.

\n" ); document.write( "Is that by chance what the problem was supposed to be?
