number
The value to round up to the nearest integer or multiple of significance.
significance
The number to whose multiples number will be rounded. The sign of significance will be ignored.

Notes
By default, positive numbers with decimal places are rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, 4.3 is rounded up to 5.
Negative numbers are rounded up (toward zero). For example, -4.3 is rounded up to -4.
