For such things it is interessting to use fixed point math.
If you want to divide 200 data Bytes by 13 you can do
fac = 256 / 13; (* Only one div needed *)
for i := 0 to 199 do
data[i] = data[i] shl 8 * fac;
and you need only 1 div and man muls.
For data-filters you normaly can avoid doing massiv divs.
