Is Zone people occupant count results in decimal number reasonable?

Hello Everyone, what is the purpose of practice on occupant schedules to be in decimal numbers in office buildings when calculating people on Area/person=18.58 m² on DOE Ref Small Office. I just want number of people to be in whole numbers based on area/person calculation instead of People method in DOE model. PnnlTechnicalReport_16250 image description

fractional people spread out across a building and through time makes sense.

Do we have to round up 7.12 fractional people to be 8 people? But then I want to use this max number of people as multiplier value in Contam CO2 sources of generation rate 0.3L/min/person and using same schedule of 0.1,0.2.... as in Energyplus and 0.1*8=0.8 people doesn't make sense to me sir.
