    I found it:

    The packet number sent is simply the number of the packet. If the packet
    number is greater than 255, then subtract 256 repeatly until the number is
    between 0 and 255. For example, if you were sending packet 731, then you
    would send 731 - 256 - 256 = 219.

    see you soon.

    Or use the modulus operator

    731 % 256 = 219
    Demonographic rhinology is not the only possible outcome, but why take the chance
