Integer division that rounds up

Introduction

Usual integer division rounds down: ${\frac {a}{b}}=\left\lfloor {\frac {a}{b}}\right\rfloor$ for $a,b\in \mathbb {N} ,b\neq 0$. To round up (if overflow is not an issue), you can use following algorithm with the usual roundig down division: $q={\frac {x+y-1}{y}}=\left\lceil {\frac {x}{y}}\right\rceil$

Proof

Proof is in two parts; 1st if $y$ divides $x$, and if not. Note that usual integer division rounds down.

Part 1. If $y$ divides Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x} we have Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=ay} for some Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle a\in\mathbb N_+} . Thus we have
