Indeed "exact" can be understood as "mathematically exact", and it's concise. The main problem I see with "exact" is if wanting to add some non-throwing version afterwards: it should have a close but different name, and I don't see how if using "xxxExact". But if such methods shall never be added, it's all right. The methods would not be added, these methods are introduced to throw exceptions. The normal Java Language operators { *, +, -, (int) } are used if no exceptions are needed.
