    return Math.ceil(num/5)*5;
}

// Output the result of rounding 32 up to the nearest multiple of 5 to the console.
console.log(int_round5(32));
// Output the result of rounding 137 up to the nearest multiple of 5 to the console.
console.log(int_round5(137));
// Output the result of rounding 142 up to the nearest multiple of 5 to the console.
