I have a large number of toy soldiers, which I can arrange into a rectangular array consisting of a number of rows and a number of columns. I notice that if I remove 100 toy soldiers, then I can arrange the remaining ones into a rectangular array with 5 fewer rows and 5 more columns. How many toy soldiers would I have to remove from the original configuration to be able to arrange the remaining ones into a rectangular array with 11 fewer rows and 11 more columns?
