Jun 24, 2023 at 20:55 comment added Jeremy Rouse In the case that $r$ is a prime number, this is a consequence of the Deligne-Serre lifting lemma (see Theorem 1.2 and Corollary 1.3 of the document here). In the case that $r$ is composite, maybe what I said is a little bit too naive (there might be a different eigenform $h_{i}$ for each prime factor of $r$ with $f \equiv h_{i} \pmod{\mathfrak{r}_{i}}$).
Jun 24, 2023 at 5:22 comment added Adithya Chakravarthy @JeremyRouse A clarification about your comment: why is it true that if there is a form $g$ with integer coefficients (not necessarily an eigenform) such that $f \equiv g$ mod $r$, then there must exist an eigenform, say $h$, with algebraic integer coefficients such that $f \equiv h$ mod $\mathfrak{r}$? (Here $\mathfrak{r}$ is an appropriate ideal in the ring of integers of the coeff field of $h$.) That is, if $f$ is congruent to a cuspform $g$ with integer coeffs, why must $f$ also be congruent to an eigenform $h$ with algebraic integer coeffs?

Aug 5, 2015 at 23:49 comment added ABCDveve It seems the LMFDB is broken again. I clicked on your LMFDB link and got to 197a1 page, but going to Related objects "Modular form 197.2a" gave the excuse: " We are very sorry. The sought space could not be found in the database. " How are you able to use LMFDB to verify this?

Aug 5, 2015 at 19:17 comment added Jeff H @JeremyRouse Oh, of course! What a silly mistake on my part. If you'd like to elevate your comment to an answer, I'd be happy to accept it.
Aug 5, 2015 at 19:15 comment added Jeremy Rouse I'm skeptical of your stated definition of the congruence number. According to Zagier, the congruence number is not the largest positive integer for which there is another integer coefficient eigenform congruent to it. It is the largest positive integer $r$ for which there is a form $g$ with integer coefficients in the $\mathbb{C}$-span of the other eigenforms with $g \equiv f \pmod{r}$. (Essentially, there is no eigenform with integer coefficients congruent to $f$, but there is another eigenform with algebraic integer coefficients, and the same "mod 10" reduction.)
