Are you not forgetting that numbers are stored in base 2, so if you divide by, say 100 or 25000, you do not get an exact representation at the lower bit? Receiver side multiply by said factor will now introduce an inaccuracy. On the contrary, if you keep your time management in base 2 sender side (if you can be bothered), there is no additional precision loss beyond the chosen resolution.
