in reply to Re^2: Decimal Arithmetic
in thread Decimal Arithmetic

When I try to split these amounts, I'm getting rounding errors.

This sounds more like a business logic problem than a decimal precision problem.

For example, I have $1.00 that I need to allocate out to 3 parties. If I just divide by 3 and round to the nearest penny, then everyone pays $0.33 and I'm short a penny.
