Let \(k, r\) and \(s,\;2\leqslant s\leqslant k,\;0\leqslant r\leqslant{k-1},\) be integers. The author studies the solvability of the congruence \(\sum _{i=1}^{s} x_i \equiv r\pmod k\) in pairwise different numbers \(x_1,\dots ,x_s\) from the least non-negative residue system modulo \(k\). A formula for the number of such solutions of the congruence is obtained in two ways, combinatorially and algebraically. The connection of this number with the coefficients of Gauss polynomials is also shown.
