n=1; a=(1457 % n);b=(368%n);if(a==b, goto4,goto5);printa,b,n; n++; if(n<2000, goto1, discard=0;

Rem           n

0 0              1
2 2              3
8 8              9
5 5             11
5 5             33
71 71         99
5 5            121
5 5            363
368 368    1089

So, the largest n =1,089 with the remainder of 368.

Guest you cannot divide a number by a larger number to get an integer.

YES, You can in "Modular Math"!!. It is perfectly valid! See here: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=368+mod+1089
