So factor is an unsigned int so could be 32 bits. In reality it only
takes a small set of values between 1 and 1000
Maximum numerator is 10 so a maximum of 10,000.
Hence this is a false positive, be it one that would be very hard
for a static checker to identify.
So that moves it from a fix to a warning suppression change.
I have no problem with those, but description needs to reflect that.
Let me know if I've missed something, if not I'm happy to apply
this and will put some text in the message to explain the above
reasoning.
Thanks,
