What is FLOOR.MATH function in Excel?

FLOOR.MATH function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that round a number down to the nearest integer or to the nearest multiple of significance.

Syntax of FLOOR.MATH function

FLOOR.MATH(number, significance, mode)

The FLOOR.MATH function syntax has the following arguments.

  • Number: The number to be rounded down.
  • Significance(Optional): The multiple to which you want to round.
  • Mode (Optional): The direction (toward or away from 0) to round negative numbers.

FLOOR.MATH formula explanation

  • By default, positive numbers with decimal portions are rounded down to the nearest integer. For example, 6.3 is rounded down to 6, using the default Significance (1).
  • By default, negative numbers with decimal portions are rounded away from 0 to the nearest integer. For example, -6.7 is rounded to -7.
  • By using 0 or a negative number as the Mode argument, you can change the direction of the rounding for negative numbers. For example, rounding -6.3 with a Significance of 1 and a Mode of -1 rounds toward 0, to -6.
  • The Significance argument rounds the number down to the nearest integer that is a multiple of the significance specified. The exception is where the number to be rounded is an integer. For example, for a Significance of 3, the number is rounded down to the next integer that is a multiple of 3.
  • If Number divided by a Significance of 2 or greater results in a remainder, the result is rounded down.
