Modulo, GCD, and LCM for the HP 20s, 21S

This program is by Dave Britten and is used here by permission.

Overview

LBL A: GCD
LBL B: LCM
LBL F: Modulo
Usage:
x, INPUT, y, XEQ A/B/F

Unneeded programs can be skipped, however LBL A depends on LBL F, and LBL B depends on LBL A and LBL F. The checksum assumes all programs are entered as supplied.

The modulo routine uses no storage registers, and makes liberal (mis)use of INPUT, SWAP, and LAST to accomplish this. GCD uses storage registers 1 and 2, and LCM uses register 3 in addition to 1 and 2.

Checksum: 843A
