function - C# how to always round down to nearest 50

Question

I've done a search on C# rounding, but haven't been able to find the answer to my current problem.

What I want to do is always round down to the nearest 50. All the values I want to round down will be in decimal.

So 635.25 would be 600.

298.42 would be 250.

149.56 would be 100.

I've looked at math.round but how would I use that so it always rounds down to the nearest 50 and never up?

Answer 1

Divide the value by 50, round down to the closest whole number, and multiply by 50 again:

double n = Math.Floor(n / 50.0) * 50.0;
