Accountants avoid academic penny drama.

If you have a few grown-up adult parties, e.g. cofounders, partners, then split like [(n-1) x round(total/n), whats_left]. The last one is how sql select sees it.

If you have potentially penny-hysterical kinds (taxes, anonymous group customers), round in their favor and throw pennies into your own expenses.

If n ~~ total, e.g. $100.00 over 700 people, don’t do that, it’s bad accounting.

I worked with finance and accounting half my life. They just don’t fall into these philosophical dilemmas.
