three is the only such number
explanation:
the no's that leave a remainder of 3 when divided by 14 are 3 17 31 45 73 ...
or they are generated by the formula
y = 14x + 3
the no's that leave a remainder of 3 when divided by 13 are 3 16 29 42 ...
or they are generated by y = 13x + 3
these equations, when graphed, are two straight line that intersect only at (0,3)
3 ÷ 14 = 0 with remainder 3
3 ÷ 13 = 0 with remainder 3
