The Integer dividing system issues in php

I got an issue in Integer dividing script. What I want is, If we divide 8 into 3 parts. It should show all rounded figures. like, 3,3,2 If we SUM these 3. it will be 8.

But The Following script is dividing with some difference. It divides 2,2,4. It is also 8. But I like the above 1. Can any one help in this case please. Here is the code.

$numbertodivise = 8;
$no = 3;

$intnumber = intval($numbertodivise / $no);
$rem = $numbertodivise % $no;
$array = [];

for($i=1;$i<=$no;$i++) {
    if($i==$no) {
        $array[] = $intnumber + $rem;
    } else {
        $array[] = $intnumber;
    }
}

print_r($array);

its out put is

Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 2 [2] => 4 )

Kindly Help me to make it like this

Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 3 [2] => 2 )

8 is not a fixed integer. It will by dynamic.. 8,9,19,22, 88, 9888, any digit it could be.

Edit changed the$turn to $no in for loop. You can use this for any number.

<?php
    $numbertodivide = 8;
    $no = 3;
    $array = [];
    $added=0;//initialize the variable to track added number to make the given number divisible
    while($numbertodivide%$no){
        $numbertodivide+=1;
        $added++;
    }
    $turn=$numbertodivide/$no;//get how many times we have to repeat the divider to get the given number
    for($i=0;$i<$no-1;$i++){
        $array[]=$turn;
    }
    $array[]=$turn-$added;//trim the added number from the last input of the number.
?>

intval() rounds down. You want to round up, so use ceil().

$intnumber = ceil($numbertodivise / $no);
$rem = $numbertodivise % $intnumber;

$array = array_fill(0, $no, $intnumber);
if ($rem != 0) {
    $array[count($array)-1] = $rem;
}

Without the need of loops. Using your variables:

$count = ceil($numbertodivise / $no);
$rem = $numbertodivise - ($no * ($count-1));
$array = array_fill(0,$count-1,$no);
$array[] = $rem;

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => 3
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 2
)
