Round up decimal point to next value in JavaScript

Question

I need to get a next value if the current value has decimal point(.1 to .9. not .0) with JavaScript.

Lets say:

var allRecords = 214;
var totalRecordSinglePage = 10;
var totalPages = (allRecords / totalRecordSinglePage)

Now the value of
totalPages = 21.4

But I want to convert 21.4 into 22.

So new value of
totalPages = 22

How can I do this in JavaScript?

So [Math.ceil](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/ceil)? — Matt Burland, Sep 21 '16 at 16:52

I believe you're looking for the ceiling function: Math.ceil(totalPages);

Math.ceil() is the function you need.

var totalPages = Math.ceil(allRecords / totalRecordSinglePage);

Use Math.ceil(x), where x is the number.

Math.ceil does exactly that.

Math.ceil(allRecords / totalRecordSinglePage)
