What calculator?  What language?

In ASM:

        ld      a, (yournumber)
        add     a, r

gives a very not-so-random number without using a routine of any sort.

In BASIC:

        INT(RAND*MAX+1)->NUM

Where MAX is the highest number you want and NUM will be 1-MAX.  Take out
the 1 for 0-(MAX-1)
