>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.

lnArc = 360.000000
lnDegree = 2.347678
lnSteps = ceiling(lnArc / lnDegree)
for ix = 1 to lnSteps
  lnThisAngle = min(ix*lnDegree, lnArc)
endfor
