Have you learned about congruences? You have to give us some context, are you doing this in school/university, what course is this etc etc, because we can easily give you a solution, but the important thing is for you to understand the process
 
This is a help forum where we help students solve their problems. We never solve problems for students on this forum.
Here are some hints.
Let x be the number.
x = 47r + 1 for some natural number r.
x = 48s + 2 for some natural number s
x = 49t + 3 for some natural number t
