Math.ceil(16.01) == 17
Math.ceil(-15.01) == -15

Let's say you need to fit num1 cars into parking lots, where each parting lot has space for num2 cars. You can use the Math.ceil() method along with a function to calculate the minimum number of parking lots:

function getNumLots(num1, num2) {
  return Math.ceil(num1 / num2);
}
