Synopsis#include <flint/mpn_extras.h>
void flint_mpn_divexact_preinv(mp_ptr q, mp_srcptr a, mp_size_t an, const flint_mpn_divexact_preinv_t pre)source

Exact division by the fixed divisor of pre: sets (q, \mathit{an} - \mathit{bn} + 1) to a/b, assuming that b divides a. Quotients of at most \mathit{bn}' + 1 limbs cost a single flint_mpn_mullow_n; longer ones use block Hensel division with the stored inverse (one low and one high product per block), except for divisors b' of at most 7 limbs, where the register-based code of flint_mpn_divexact is faster. Only the low limbs of a that can influence the quotient are read.
