That's also my final solution.

How about:
7
x<>y
MOD

Works on all RPN/RPL models, I think.

Hey, that's a good one!
My solution is different, but takes the same three steps.
Anyone else with three steps? Or even less?

2 / INT

HP-42S:

2 BASE/

hp 33s:

2 INT/

Ok, after the fail above (always check twice) here a new attempt:
R->B
SR
B->R

so three steps

Nice! I started down that path but didn't remember the BASE/ function.

On the Prime there is BITSR(), 1 step.

What about

5 -> 2
2 -> 1
1 -> 0

A longer and slower way here. :-)

An interesting solution, regardless the number of steps. This works on the 33s as well (Rmdr == MOD).

The same idea in RPL is 2 IQUOT.

Nice – two very cool solutions.
If you have calculators with the respective commands, that is. ;-)
2 / INT probably is the most universal one.

Other solutions with more special commands:

2 INT÷ (HP35s)
2 IDIV (WP34s)
LN ROUNDI (WP34s)
