I am trying to remember the "golden rule" for integer division rounding.

I am trying to average something (both integers) and I can't remember how to
round without using floating point.

Like say I am trying to divide 26/3  --- I would get 8 remainder 2

but that should round up to 9. How can I do this? I know it has something to
do with the dividend....but I can't for the life of me remember. thanks!
