Division and right shift in python

[Cevahir Demirkıran]

The previous one was slower but now it is faster.
How can I make this more consistent?
Why cannot I control it?

Where can I find  the algorithms implemented under for example pow, /, %,
etc.?
I could not see them in python documentation?

f2(281367918279371279712863756486284619792197836426862028028824908239084023984967328564836783686836834628136791827937127971286375648628461979219783642686202802882490823908402398496732856483678368683683462813679182793712797128637564862846197921978364268620280288249082390840239849673285648367836868368346,9)

Thanks in advance,
