I'd be curious how to use an integer divisor...

As Robert said: Division is messy. It's even slow if you let the
processor do it. Hey, even a fsqrt is faster than fdiv...

But if you know the dividend in advance (i.e. it is a constant), you can
greatly speed up the process by multiplying with its reciprocal. This
also works for the integer/fixpoint case if you take some care.
