Old trick for ints from my COBOL days. To round to the nearest N add N-1, divide by N, multiply by N. To round up to nearest 10 ...

44 + 9 = 53
53 / 10 = 5
5 * 10 = 50

To round 45 up and 44 down, add N/2 instead of N

44 + 5 = 49
49 / 10 = 4
4 * 10 = 40

45 + 5 = 50
... -> 50

I divide the number which I wish to round by 10:

46 / 10 = 4.6

Math.round(4.6) = 5

and restore it by multiplying by 10:
5 * 10 = 50.

Girish, Tim's method or mine will work with numbers of any size to very near the max or min integer values. Try em and see!
