   Ignore this gibberish..

     | division into a constant is equvalent to multiplication by its reciprocal,

   I still have the impression tha it is possible to do this conversion using
   a multiplication, but it isn't that simple...

It is.  See fast_divide32(3).  Most compilers will automatically
convert divisions by a constant to do something tantamount to it.
