I feel that the error calculation is just snake oil. This would be enough:

		if (tmp_age_unit <= AGE_UNIT_MAX)
			break;

Explanation:

You are given a number X, and must find A and B such that the error
E = |(A x B) - X| should be minimum, with
1 <= A <= A_max
1 <= B <= B_max

It is logical to try with A=1 first. If X / A <= B_max, then of course,
B = X / 1, and the error E is 0.

If that doesn't work out, and B > B_max, then you go to A=2. That gives
you another B = X / 2, and the error E is 1. You check again if B <=
B_max. If it is, that's your answer. B = X / 2, with an error E of 1.

You get my point. Iterating ascendingly through A, and calculating B as
X / A, already gives you the smallest error as soon as it satisfies the
B <= B_max requirement.
