That will depend on the conditions of the question. In some cases the answer must be an integer because fractional solutions do not make sense in the real world.

Suppose I need to find how many 20-seater coaches are needed for a group of 46 people. An answer of 2.3 coaches makes no sense. If I need more than 2 coaches, it has to be 3 (or more)! I cannot get any value between 2 and 3.
