The remainder is always 31 or less.
1098765433 will have a remainder of 1.
989. If there is a remainder of 2 when divided by 3, the number is one less than a multiple of 3. If there is a remainder of 4 when divided by 5, the number is one less than a multiple of 5. Thus the number required is one less than a multiple of the lowest common multiple of 3 and 5 (that is 15). So what is needed is an even multiple of 15 less than or equal to 1000: 1000 ÷ 15 = 662/3 Thus the highest even multiple of 15 not greater than 1000 is 66 x 15 = 990, and the required number is 989.
14. The largest possible number for a remainder is 1 less than the divisor.

37 is the number.
Every 2 digit number, when divided by the number one less than it, will result in a remainder of 1.
