:

you could also avoid most of the rounding by using an additional accout
"common expense" and delaying the division.
Over the month colect all common expense here. At the end of the month
divide the total by heads (n) and assign it to the rspective accounts.
Rounding down there will be a remain of 0…(n.1) cents transferred into
the next month.
