Remainder is not really an operator. 22 ÷ 5 is also "4 with remainder
2", but 30 ÷ 7 and 22 ÷ 5 are not equal, so you can't really use "du"
there.
You could use "na'u dilcu":
li na'u dilcu cino boi ze boi re du li vo
li na'u dilcu rere boi mu boi re du li vo
Equivalent to:
li vo dilcu li cino li ze li re
li vo dilcu li rere li mu li re
mu'o mi'e xorxes
