4-level stack manipulation on 12c

I wanted a little MOD function for my 12c and I realized if I arranged these numbers in the stack in that order, a simple \(\div\) INT \(\times\) - would give me the standard formula for MOD: 17-(int(17/5)x5). So the final 12c program is (after entering 17 in Y and 5 in X):

ENTER
ENTER
-
RDown
X<->Y
LastX
\(\div\)
INT
\(\times\)

Many thanks Werner.

Don,

This has come up a few time before, MOD is a missing function on the older HP calculators. Here are a couple of old threads giving some more ideas, but not limited to the 12c.
