A group of pirates went to hunt for treasure. They found a chest of gold coins with 8383 coins in it. They tried to equally divide the coins, but some coins were left over. So they picked one pirate among themselves and threw him overboard. Suppose the pirates continue in this manner (throwing each other overboard one by one) until they can divide the coins equally among themselves. How many pirates would be left?
