I need to figure out how to divide a number and not have a remainder. I can decrease the divisor by small amounts until it will go evenly. I would like to stay within 6 decmil places. The number I divide will between 0.000001 and 360.000000. The divisor will always be less than 1/4 of the number being divided.

For example my arc is 360.000000 degrees and the angle is 10.00000. This will give me exactly 36 steps for the circle. So if I have an arc of 360.000000 and an angle of 2.347678 I get 153.343005 steps. If I round the steps to 153 I get 2.352941 degrees per step. If I then multiply the step angle by the steps I get less than 360 degrees which is the final angle. The step angle must end up at he final angle exactly.

360.000000 / 2.347678 = 153.343005 Steps
360.000000 / 153 = 2.352941 Degrees per step
153 * 2.352941 = 359.999973 Final angle

Thanks for any help
