and choosing \(N\) such that \(x*N\) is a whole power of \(2\) we have an optimization where a division is replaced by a pair of a multiplication followed by a (super cheap!) bit-shift operation by \(Z\) bits: | and choosing \(N\) such that \(x*N\) is a whole power of \(2\) we have an optimization where a division is replaced by a pair of a multiplication followed by a (super cheap!) bit-shift operation by \(Z\) bits: | ||

The value \(Z\) depends on the needed precision and, of course, the higher the \(Z\) the less precision loss there will be in the end. | The value \(Z\) depends on the needed precision and, of course, the higher the \(Z\) the less precision loss there will be in the end. | ||
