    to find n you can just guess , there is no exact formula to calculate n
    first guess is that n must be even and greater than 133

    using modular algebra

    133^5 ≡ 3mod10
    since n^5> 133^5 it means that n > 133
    n^5≡ 4mod10

    Integers congruent to 4mod10:

    14, 24, 34, 44, 54, 64, 74, 84, 94, 104, 114, 124, 134, 144, 154, 164, 174, 184, 194, 204, ...
    since n > 133 we can use 144, 154, 164, 174, 184, 194, 204, ...
    trying 144 shows us it is a solution
