The majority of songs I've had experience with had bpms that fell on precisely a whole number... so yeah once you have the bpm within the general ballpark it's not too difficult to extrapolate and guess the exact bpm (for most songs at least).

watch out for gimmicky bpms like 222.22 (Freedom Dive) or 123.45 (Macgravel's Starlight) tho

If the song has constant BPM changes (EX: The Rails) Use DDReam studio.

There are programs on the internet you can download that can find the BPM of a song out for you, a popular one used by many is called MixMeister BPM Analyzer but sometimes the BPM found may not always be right, its pretty good for a song with the same speed throughout the song.

Or simply use and online counter. It varies since you have to tap the key to the song yourself, but it helps alot once you get locked onto the correct BPM.
