23.

If the remainder when a number n is divided by m is r, then it is written as n ≡ r MOD m (read as "n is equivalent to r modulo m") and n = mk + r for some integer k.

if n ≡ 643 MOD 837, then n = 837k + 643 (for some k)

When n is divided by 31:

n ÷ 31 = (837k + 643) ÷ 31

= 837k ÷ 31 + 643 ÷ 31

= 27k + 20 + 23/31

Multiplying both sides by 31:

→ n = 31 x (27k + 20) + 31 x 23/31

= 31m + 23 (where m = 27k + 20)

→ n ≡ 23 MOD 31

Thus the remainder when the same number is divided by 31 is 23.
