Agreed here.

Is it even mathematically possible to compute this sanely ? I mean, is
there some algorithm for this ? While this function is greatly useful
when operating over integers, it doesn't make sense with real numbers,
as ANY non-zero floating-point number divides any other floating-point
number with a floating-point result ...
