Round a divided number in Bash

by

To do rounding up in truncating arithmetic, simply add (denom-1) to the numerator.

Example, rounding down:

N/2
M/5
K/16

Example, rounding up:

(N+1)/2
(M+4)/5
(K+15)/16

To do round-to-nearest, add (denom/2) to the numerator (halves will round up):

(N+1)/2
(M+2)/5
(K+8)/16
