Numerics question

I define ninv = 1.0/n ...where n is some integer, and I want to write some function f such that f(m * ninv) returns the smallest integer that is >= m * ninv, where m is some other integer. And, in particular, if m is p*n for some integer p, then f((p*n) * ninv) should return the integer p.
