would be faster as divides are always more expensive.

I was curious so I tested that hypothesis. Technology brings changes... Using /free on V5R4M0, rolling through a million calculations:

divide 648000 ms
multiply 279000 ms

That is, a million divides takes about .369 seconds more to perform than a million multiplies. I don't think I'm going to lose sleep over that efficiency loss, but the compiler team might be interested to know that OPTIMIZE(*FULL) looks pretty good in cases like this:

divide 114000 ms
multiply 118000 ms
