The Math object in JavaScript has the round() method, which rounds to
the next integer. In order to get your desired rounding, you multiply
with a factor so that you can round to the integer, round, and divide
again, and you will get the desired result.
Note that this is different from the Formatting of your number. In
the Formatting, only the displayed value is rounded, but the value
itself is not. With the round() function you actually change the
value.
This differentiation can be important when you do further calculations.
Hope, this can help.
