Thanks @Ton Frederiks. In which case, this should round the left and top positions of artboards.

var ABs = app.activeDocument.artboards;
for (var i = 0; i < ABs.length; i++) {
    var ABR = ABs[i].artboardRect;
    var dx = Math.round(ABR[0]) - ABR[0];
    var dy = Math.round(ABR[1]) - ABR[1];
    ABs[i].artboardRect = [
        Math.round(ABR[0]), Math.round(ABR[1]), 
        ABR[2] + dx, ABR[3] + dy
    ];
}

It might be too late for this, but here is a video that might work. you can quickly "snap to" the pixel grid. moving artwork with your artboards.

basically, select artboards. Object>Make Pixel Perfect

The problem with this is that it not only moves but resizes your artboards. A 540 pixel artboard not aligned to the grid can become a 541 pixel artboard when made pixel perfect.

You seem to be using pixels. Illustrator scripting uses points. Converting points to pixels involves multiplying by a repeating decimal and you'll always end up with a decimal. So what you want is not possible.

1 point in Illustrator equals 1 pixel.

The default is 72 ppi which is the same as 72 points in an inch.

No complex conversions are necessary.

The X and Y cordinates don't actually affect the size of your output. However, you can use the Align tool to align your artboard(s) to another artboard (Select both artboards and the align options appear)

They do, if they contain fractions, rounding will occur and additional pixels will be generated.

I always figured that when you move the X or Y positions, the Width and Height shift with the dimentions remaining static (?)

Rearrange All Artboards will align them to round pixel coordinates. You could make an action and record: Object > Artboards > Rearrange All Artboards.

Rearranging all artboards disrub my visual placement of other artobards as well, looking something will work on selected artboards by the script
