# Round a number to the nearest multiple — Calculator

Botize method — `btzcalculator.round_to_nearest` (action).

Takes two parameters: a number (or a mathematical expression) and a multiple, and returns the number rounded to the nearest multiple. It is used to round a number to the closest unit of measurement, such as rounding a price to the nearest 5 cents.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `pattern` *(string)* — Number or Mathematical expression to round
- `nearest` *(string)* — Multiple to round
- `mb_outputvars_switch` *(boolean)* — Customize tags

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{calculation_result}}` *(decimal)* — Calculation result. Rounded number to the nearest multiple.
e.g. Rounding 228 to the nearest multiple of 10: 230
