RE: Rounding up to nearest 1000

|The rounding algorithm goes something like this:
|
|Let N be the number to round, S be the scale of the rounding (in this

|1)  temp = N + S/2
|2) result = (temp / S) * S

|I think this has to use 'integer division' to work.

Adam,

I'm trying that out using my trusty calculator, and I'm not ending up
with a round number.

Say I want to round 1461 up to the nearest thousand, which would be
2000.
So N is 1461 and S = 1000

Temp = 1461 + 1000/2
Temp = 1461 + 500
Temp = 1961
Result = (1961/1000) * 1000
Result = 1961 ?  

Did I do something wrong ?
