I just recalled, in that project I did have to divide money, which would leave fractional cents
It was a budgeting program, I could put rogue cents where I liked. I think my solution made accounts due $12.553333333... (internally 1255.3333...) each pay period get 12.54, so after n/3 pay periods they'd be 2n cents over. I could deal with that imprecision.
