Round towards negative infinity - Math.floor()
+3.5 => +3.0
-3.5 => -4.0
Round towards zero can be done using Math.trunc(). Older browsers do not support this function. If you need to support these, you can use Math.ceil() for negative numbers and Math.floor() for positive numbers.
+3.5 => +3.0 using Math.floor()
-3.5 => -3.0 using Math.ceil()

Modern browsers should support a method called toFixed(). Here's an example taken from the web:
// Example: toFixed(2) when the number has no decimal places
// It will add trailing zeros
var num = 10;
var result = num.toFixed(2); // result will equal 10.00
// Example: toFixed(3) when the number has decimal places
// It will round to the thousandths place
num = 930.9805;
result = num.toFixed(3); // result will equal 930.981
toPrecision() might also be useful for you, there is another excellent example on that page.
For older browsers, you can achieve it manually using Math.round. Math.round() will round to the nearest integer. In order to achieve decimal precision, you need to manipulate your numbers a bit:
- Multiply the original number by 10^x
(10 to the power of x), where x is
the number of decimal places you
want.
- Apply Math.round()
- Divide by 10^x
So to round 5.11111111 to three decimal places, you would do this:
var result=Math.round(5.111111*1000)/1000 //returns 5.111
The largest positive finite value of the number type is approximately 1.7976931348623157 * 10308. ECMAScript-262 3rd ed. also defines Number.MAX_VALUE which holds that value.
