Formula

floorValue = ⌊x⌋, fractionalPart = x - ⌊x⌋

Where:

  • numberValue=Number Value
Floor FunctionA staircase graph showing floor(x) rounding each value down to the nearest integer step.⌊3.7⌋ = 3
The floor function rounds any real number down to the nearest integer, forming a staircase-shaped graph.

Worked Examples

Positive decimal

Evaluate floor of 8.93.

  1. 1Locate the greatest integer ≤ 8.93
  2. 2That integer is 8
  3. 3Fractional part = 8.93 - 8 = 0.93
Final Answer: floorValue=8, fractionalPart=0.93

Negative decimal

Evaluate floor of -2.1.

  1. 1For negatives, floor moves to the next lower integer
  2. 2⌊-2.1⌋ = -3
  3. 3Fractional part = -2.1 - (-3) = 0.9
Final Answer: floorValue=-3, fractionalPart=0.9

Whole number

Evaluate floor of 12.

  1. 1Input is already an integer
  2. 2Floor stays 12
  3. 3Fractional part = 0
Final Answer: floorValue=12, fractionalPart=0

Introduction

The floor function is a core discrete math tool that maps any real number to the greatest integer not exceeding it.

Formula and Method

Floor Function Calculator applies floorValue = ⌊x⌋, fractionalPart = x - ⌊x⌋ and returns deterministic outputs from validated inputs.

  • Validate each required input

  • Apply the stated formula

  • Round numeric outputs where needed

  • Return safe defaults when validation fails

Input Fields

Use these keys exactly as defined in calculation.ts.

  1. 1

    numberValue: Number Value

Output Fields

These values map directly to calculation.ts return keys.

  1. 1

    floorValue: Greatest integer less than or equal to the input

  2. 2

    fractionalPart: Non-negative part remaining after floor

Validation Rules

Input must be a finite number.

  • Finite numeric values are required

  • Domain restrictions are enforced before solving

  • Invalid input returns default-safe outputs

  • Check examples to confirm expected behavior

How to Use This Calculator

Enter inputs, run the calculation, and read the primary output first.

  • Enter all required values

  • Click calculate

  • Review primary output first

  • Use supporting outputs for interpretation

Practical Uses

This calculator is useful for study, verification, and fast applied math checks.

  • Step-function modeling

  • Computer science proofs

  • Rounding policy checks

  • Piecewise function analysis

FAQs

What does the Floor Function Calculator compute?

It computes Floor Value and supporting outputs from your inputs.

Which inputs are required?

Required inputs are: Number Value.

How are invalid inputs handled?

When validation fails, the calculator returns safe default values and does not attempt invalid math.

Are results rounded?

Yes. Numeric outputs are rounded inside calculation.ts (typically to 6 decimal places).

Can I use negative or decimal values?

Yes. Positive, negative, and decimal numbers are all valid when finite.

How should I verify my answer?

Use the worked examples and compare each output key with your manual steps.
