Anonymous is correct......how didhe/she arrive at that???

Note that 703 factors as 19 x 37, and since both factors are prime, there is no further factorization possible.

So, either 19 members get $37 each.....or......37 members get $19 each.......and since the problem specifies more than 20 members, the second scenario is the correct one.....
