Namaste it is i, dual
Normally I would write a really in-depth answer to any question I answer, but this one requires less depth so I'll keep it short.
There are 2 basic methods to do this in the math library
(https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/math)
These are math.floor() and math.ceil().
math.floor() cuts off the decimal, and return the CURRENT integer
1 | math.floor(4.1)) -> 4 |
2 | math.floor(3.8)`) -> 3 |
Whereas math.ceil() cuts off the decimal, and returns the NEXT integer
1 | math.floor(4.1)) -> 5 |
2 | math.floor(3.8)) -> 4 |
Of course, if neither of these suits your tastes, you can always create your own rounding function, however I believe math.floor() is what you're looking for.

1 | math.floor(number) |
will return the lower value of the number, so if number is 5.9, it will be 5.
1 | math.ceil(number) |
will return the higher value of the number, so if the number is 5.1, it will be 6.
