Next time, please ask your question in the message body. The subject should
be just that....a subject. A question usually makes for a very bad subject.

It depends on the ScaleMode setting. If the scale mode is twips or pixels
(or a user mode in which there's no decimal portion), accuracy is the same.
However, integer division is more efficient so you should always use integer
division when possible.
