Let this number be x x . We are given that

x = 342 k + 47 k Z x=342k+47 \quad k\in\mathbb{Z}

So to find the remainder when x x is divided by 19 19

x 342 k + 47 18 19 k + 2 19 + 9 18 0 k + 2 0 + 9 9 m o d 19 \begin{aligned} x &\equiv 342k+47\\ &\equiv 18\cdot\mathbin{\color{#D61F06} 19}\cdot k + 2\cdot\mathbin{\color{#3D99F6} 19}+9\\ &\equiv 18\cdot\mathbin{\color{#D61F06}0}\cdot k + 2\cdot\mathbin{\color{#3D99F6}0}+9\\ &\equiv \boxed{9} \mod{19} \end{aligned}
