For any positive integers aa and bb with b>1b>1, let sb(a)s_{b}(a) be the sum of the digits of aa when it is written in base bb. Suppose nn is a positive integer such that

∑i=1⌊log⁡23n⌋s20(⌊n23i⌋)=103 and ∑i=1⌊log⁡20n⌋s23(⌊n20i⌋)=115\sum_{i=1}^{\left\lfloor\log _{23} n\right\rfloor} s_{20}\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{23^{i}}\right\rfloor\right)=103 \text { and } \sum_{i=1}^{\left\lfloor\log _{20} n\right\rfloor} s_{23}\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{20^{i}}\right\rfloor\right)=115

Compute s20(n)−s23(n)s_{20}(n)-s_{23}(n).
