Round a variable up to the next closest multiple of X

Question

I\'m looking for a way to round up a number to the next closest multiple of 250. So for example if I had the following JS:

var containerHeight = $(\"#container\         


        

Answer 1

function NearestMultiple(i, j) {
    alert(Math.ceil(i/ j) * j);
}

NearestMultiple(1007, 250); //returns 1250

See example at http://jsfiddle.net/SUya9/1/

Or what James said too!

EDIT: I see you wanted to round up all the time...Updated fiddle, but James got her in 1.

Answer 2

containerHeight = Math.ceil(containerHeight / 250.0) * 250;

Answer 3

simple

var rounded = Math.ceil(value / round) * round;
