Hard Remainder Problem

Students are always asking me to solve some difficult problems. Today I would like to give you a difficult remainder problem similar to one a student recently asked me about. Before attempting this problem you may want to read some of my older posts on remainders. You can find them by using the following links:

And now here is a challenging problem for you to try. This problem is probably a little more difficult than any that would actually show up on a standardized test, but it’s always worth struggling with these harder problems a bit to help raise your level of mathematical maturity. Feel free to post your attempted solutions in the comments. I will provide a complete solution tomorrow.
