Is rounding numbers to the nearest factor of _ possible?
I'm trying to do a thing for example if the number is 1, it would round the the factor of 4 which would be 4. Or for example 7, it would round to the nearest factor of 8. Is there A way to do this within ROBLOX scripting?

local function roundNumberToFactor(number, factor)
return number + (factor - (number % factor))
end
This rounds it up to the highest nearest factor of the number. If you want it to take it to the absolute nearest factor of the number:
local function roundNumberToFactor(number, factor)
if(number % factor > factor/2) then
return number + (factor - (number % factor))
else
return number - (number % factor)
end
end
However this would take 1 to 0 and not 4 as you asked, so I don't know if this helps or not.

"Returns a number rounded down (towards negative infinity) to the nearest integer." That number is the nearest one, not another number like 4.. :thonk: hunterthegreat100 18 — 6y
