We can write a handy equation to solve this problem. 

First, let's set a variable. Let's set x as a positive integer. 

Any number congruent to 7 modulo 29 can be written in the form

29x+7 since it is 7 greater than a factor of 29. 

 

thus, we can write the inequality

29x+71000

Setting the two to equal and solving for x, we have

29x+7=100029x=993x34.24

Rounding down, we find x is 34. 

So our answer is 34. 

 

Thanks! :)

the answer is 34
