I'm confused about which books I have to read for Elementary number theory for the beginner level.

I need references for very basic books in Elementary number theory and that book must contain given Topics below

$ 1.$Divisibility

$2.$ congruences

$ 3$ .standard arithmetic functions

$4.$ Combinatorics permutations and combinations.

I am trying Vinogradov's little book, mostly because it fits my budget. I like it so far. Published by Dover.

Wanted to get Alan Baker's book. Heard it is good. He's a professor at Cambridge, and won a Fields Medal. Am putting it off for now.

If the title is any indication, the Higher Arithmetic by Davenport will be good. I've heard it is.

I know first hand about Silverman's Friendly Introduction. I read alot of it. I recommend it. It's fun; though actually intended to sort of convert non-math majors.
