Default Rounding parts of a number while maintaining the Total

I have a column of numbers which need to be split into between 1-4 new
columns based on percentage values stored in my worksheet

if rngPercents = A1:A4
and rngNumbers=D2:D373

I need
Col E=rngPercents(1,1)*rngNumbers
Col F=rngPercents(2,1)*rngNumbers
Col G=rngPercents(3,1)*rngNumbers
Col H=rngPercents(4,1)*rngNumbers

Now the problem

I need the values in Cols E-H to be whole numbers which will still total
the Original Numbers in Col D
This involves rounding and for the life of me I can't come up with a method
that will ensure the correct totals

I am willing to use VBA or formulas to accomplish this

Some Math Wizard must have done this before and your help will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
