What is the smallest positive n under 50,000 that satisfies the following:
n mod 43 = 22
n mod 101 = 64
n mod 211 = 30 . Thanks for help.

Omi67: Thanks for that, but the question is about ONE NUMBER, n, that satifies those 3 conditions.
43A + 22 =101B + 64 =211C + 30, solve for A,B,C.
A=1,065, B=453, C=217, so that:
43 x 1,065 + 22 =45,817 The smallest positive number.
LCM {43, 101, 211} =916,373. So, the general form is:
916,373D + 45,817. And for D=0, 1, 2......etc. We have:
45,817 The smallest positive number.
962,190
1,878,563.......etc.

43 is a prime number, and 101 is a prime number, and 211 is a prime number.
Because 43 and 101 and 211 are relatively prim ( gcd(43,101,211) = 1! ) we can go on:
The smallest positive n under 50,000 is 45817
