Is division better than multiplication?
Multiplication is faster than division. At university I was taught that division takes six times that of multiplication. The actual timings are architecture dependent but in general multiplication will never be slower or even as slow as division.
Is division slower than multiplication Python?
However, as is often the case, the most obvious approach is not the fastest. In general, division is much slower than multiplication and addition, though division by powers of 2 is very fast.
What is difference between multiplication and division?
In multiplication, the numbers being multiplied are called factors; the result of the multiplication is called the product. In division, the number being divided is the dividend, the number that divides it is the divisor, and the result of the division is the quotient.
