I found this written in the back of an old Math book today:
[math] \displaystyle \pi \approx \frac{208341}{66371}= \frac{A}{17}+ \frac{B}{47}+ \frac{C}{83}[/math]
and it appears to be within one-half part per trillion of the actual value. Find the values of A, B, and C, if you're hard enough.

To fulfill this, you'd need, for example, this equality to be true as well:
6 = 8a (mod 17)

Up to you to figure out why.

No, when I wrote that I found this written in the back of an old book (Mathematical Handbook by Murray R.Spiegel) that was true, unlike what you wrote.

I found a other approximation which is slightly more accurate:

it's pretty trivial after re-expressing it as

so trivial, in fact, that i used a CAS to give the general solution

here's the solution I found with some modular algebra:
[math]208341=(47)(83)A+(17)(83)B+(17)(47)C[/math]
remainders on division by 17:
[math]6 \equiv 8 \times \textup{A}(mod~17)~so~ \textup{A}=5,22,39, \cdots[/math]
remainders on division by 47:
[math]37 \equiv 1 \times \textup{B}(mod~47)~so~ \textup{B}=37,84,131, \cdots[/math]
remainders on division by 83:
[math]11 \equiv 52 \times \textup{C}(mod~83)~so~ \textup{C}=5,88,171, \cdots[/math]
picking B=37 (for example) gives the choices
(A, C) = (5, 171), (22, 88), (39, 5)
