When it comes to Integer Properties questions, it's often the case that the fastest approach is to test a value that satisfies the given information.
If some number, when divided by 357 gives a remainder 37, then that number could be 37 (since 37 divided by 357 equals 0 with remainder 37)
So, 37 divided by 17 equals 2 with remainder 3
Answer: A
