I did things like that for a while, then I multiplied 3937 by 254. The answer is 999998. So those 2 constants are off by 2 ppm from being an exact inverse of eachother. I assume the decimal points/units work out right. I just shifted to integers to avoid any rounding quirks. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
