How do you “Divide Share Equally” among a number of people?

Easy isn't it.. 100% / number of people   100/2 = 50%

Now 100/3….=  33.33333333333333…….

One compromised solution is 33.33, 33.33 and 33.34.  so one of them will get a 0.01 percent more, if that is not a big deal.

I ended up writing some code for this and I hope it will be useful for you.

See C# sample code below

        private List<double> GetPercentages(double numberOfItems)

        {

            List<double> percentages = new List<double>(); 

            double totalPercentage = 100.00;

            double averagePercentage = Math.Round(totalPercentage / numberOfItems, 2);

            double reminder = Math.Round(100 - (averagePercentage * numberOfItems),2);

            for (int i = 0; i < numberOfItems; i++)

            {

                double percentageValue = averagePercentage;

                if (reminder != 0)

                {

                    if (reminder > 0)

                    {

                        reminder = Math.Round(reminder - 0.01,2);

                        percentageValue += 0.01;

                    }

                    else

                    {

                        reminder = Math.Round(reminder + 0.01,2);

                        percentageValue -= 0.01;

                    }

                }

                percentages.Add(Math.Round(percentageValue,2));

                percentages.Sort();

            }

            return percentages;

        }
