Rounding off to the next whole number

Hello,
I searched a lot on this Forum.
Please help me with the below problem.

I want to divide two numbers and the result should be the next nearest whole number.

E.G. Dividing 10.8/5 ideally gives 2.16. But the result should be 3 i.e. rounded off to the next whole number.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.
