    How do you round numbers?

    I am having a problem in trying to round the answer of a calculation...the program asks the user to enter the number of sprockets on 3 gears...then it asks for the ratio in relation to each other...in this case...the ratio of 2 to 1, 3 to 2, and 3 to 1...this is a sample of what i have...

    float gear1;
    float gear2;
    float gear3;

    System.out.print("Please enter the number of sprokets of the gear 1...");
    gear1 =
    Float.valueOf(inputStream.readLine().trim()).floatValue();

    System.out.print("Please enter the number of sprokets of the gear 2...");
    gear2=
    Float.valueOf(inputStream.readLine().trim()).floatValue();

    System.out.print("Please enter the number of sprokets of the gear 3...");
    gear3=
    Float.valueOf(inputStream.readLine().trim()).floatValue();

    System.out.println("The number of sprokets on gear 1 is " + gear1);
    System.out.println("The number of sprokets on gear 2 is " + gear2);
    System.out.println("The number of sprokets on gear 3 is " + gear3);

    float x1;
    float x2;
    float x3;

    x1 = (float)(gear1 / gear2);
    x2 = (float)(gear2 / gear3);

    Math.round((x1 * 100) / 100.0);
    Math.round((x2 * 100) / 100.0);

    float xRatio2To1;
    float xRatio3To1;

    xRatio2To1 = (float)(gear1 / gear2);
    xRatio3To1 = (float)(gear1 / gear3);

    Math.round((xRatio2To1 * 100) / 100.0);
    Math.round((xRatio3To1 * 100) / 100.0);

    System.out.println("The gear ratio between gear 2 and gear 1 is " + Math.round((x1 * 100) / 100.0));
    System.out.println("and " + Math.round((xRatio2To1 * 100) / 100.0));

    System.out.println("The gear ratio between gear 3 and gear 2 is " + Math.round((x2 * 100) / 100.0));
    System.out.println("and " + Math.round((xRatio3To1 * 100) / 100.0));

    AN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE...

    You can't have 0.1 of a sprocket on a gear rite? what should i do then?...set them as int?

    but then if i set them as int...when 2 is divided by 3...java would think its equal to 0...not 0.666667

    n e insights?
