Break the equation in two
I think your problem is a result of the triple multiplication. None of the PBP examples I have seen allow this.
PBP does allow
x = a*b
y = div32 c
Your constant, 5252, has 6 factors, namely 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, and 52.
Break the equation in two with divisors say 52 and 101 and see how you go. Beware the integer division truncation problem where 201/101 = 1.
The new LONG variable type (PBP 2.50 and up) MIGHT solve your problem but only after some gymnastics as the LONG type appears to allow big multiplicands but retains integer division so you probably need to scale all your numbers UP by factors of 100 or so.
