I wonder how much of this is an illusion of precision that comes from pattern matching on content from filler sites like https://www.free-hosting.biz/division/16-divided-7.html (I do not recommend clicking the link, but the result appears there).
I was thinking the same thing, especially as we are talking about division, and the result is "correct" for 16/7 to a great number of digits.
See also the "x = x + x three times", for which the result is not random but the result for the same thing... Two times instead of three (so result/2). That heavily smells like it has read sites that had nearly the same code on them.
