I don't know about the language specifics, but if you add 0.5 to the
interim answer before "rounding" the result you should get what you
want, e.g.

53 / 10 = 5.3
5.3 + 0.5 = 5.8
round(5.8) = 6

or

58 / 10 = 5.8
5.8 + 0.5 = 6.3
round(6.3) = 6

Assuming a ROUND function is available that rounds values 0.0 to 0.4
down and 0.5 to 0.9 up

Any use?
