Deicide:

This is a bit like asking, "What sort of music can I expect to hear
from a Sony stereo?"

The PICs do not include a built-in division instruction; you need to
write your own division routine (or use someone else's).  Therefore,
the operation can be performed to any level of precision, and you can
choose to have the results returned any way you want.
