@rgiulietti Perhaps I was not clear enough. I'm not intended to use 
`Long.divideUnsigned(long, long)` and `Long.remainderUnsigned(long, long)` in 
the tests, but in the algorithm implementation, instead of using an hard-coded 
implementation, to use directly the assembly code, although this implies to 
calculate the approximations of `q` and `r` two times instead of one.
