num_rows = (num_items/row_size) + (num_items%row_size)
This uses integer division then adds the remainder, so for your
example of 5,3 we get
5/3 = 1
5%3 = 2
So rows = 3 - wrong!
All you want to do is add one if the modulus is not zero, so
num_rows = (num_items/row_size)
if num_items % row_size > 0:
num_rows += 1
Should do what you want.
