x / y or x * (1 / y) What's the difference? Funs
There is a slight difference. It should stay well below a millionth of the
result (0,0001 %) but I haven't made a theoretical measurement so I can't
guarantee it. It's due to rounding numbers. If y is a power of two (2, 4,
8, 16, ...) then there is no difference at all. For other values of y, the
amount of error depends on x in a funny pattern.
