When it takes argument, yes. When it doesn't then you don't put it.

Btw, I don't like name for this, it's better to be in math64 with the u64 or similar suffixes like it's used for div/mul variants.

Also add a roundup to make the API symmetrical (yes, it's okay that it has no
users, it's a macro and doesn't consume memory at run-time).

Then implementing it there (in math64.h) looks to me natural thingy that will
implicitly suggest this.
