Round number up to the nearest multiple of 3

This function will round up to the nearest multiple of whatever factor you provide. It will not round up 0 or numbers which are already multiples.

round_up = function(x,factor){ return x - (x%factor) + (x%factor>0 && factor);}

round_up(25,3)
27
round up(1,3)
3
round_up(0,3)
0
round_up(6,3)
6

The behavior for 0 is not what you asked for, but seems more consistent and useful this way. If you did want to round up 0 though, the following function would do that:

round_up = function(x,factor){ return x - (x%factor) + ( (x%factor>0 || x==0) && factor);}

round_up(25,3)
27
round up(1,3)
3
round_up(0,3)
3
round_up(6,3)
6

Building on @Makram's approach, and incorporating @Adam's subsequent comments, I've modified the original Math.prototype example such that it accurately rounds negative numbers in both zero-centric and unbiased systems:

Number.prototype.mround = function(_mult, _zero) {

  var bias = _zero || false;
  var base = Math.abs(this);
  var mult = Math.abs(_mult);

  if (bias == true) {
    base = Math.round(base / mult) * _mult;
    base = (this<0)?-base:base ;
  } else { 
    base = Math.round(this / _mult) * _mult;
  }

  return parseFloat(base.toFixed(_mult.precision()));

}

Number.prototype.precision = function() {
  if (!isFinite(this)) return 0;
  var a = this, e = 1, p = 0;
  while (Math.round(a * e) / e !== a) { a *= 10; p++; }
  return p;
}

Examples: (-2).mround(3) returns -3;
(0).mround(3) returns 0;
(2).mround(3) returns 3;
(25.4).mround(3) returns 24;
(15.12).mround(.1) returns 15.1

A more general answer that might help somebody with a more general problem: if you want to round numbers to multiples of a fraction, consider using a library. This is a valid use case in GUI where decimals are typed into input and for instance you want to coerce them to multiples of 0.25, 0.2, 0.5 etc. Then the naive approach won't get you far:

function roundToStep(value, step) {
  return Math.round(value / step) * step;
}

console.log(roundToStep(1.005, 0.01)); // 1, and should be 1.01

After hours of trying to write up my own function and looking up npm packages, I decided that Decimal.js gets the job done right away. It even has a toNearest method that does exactly that, and you can choose whether to round up, down, or to closer value (default).

const Decimal = require("decimal.js")

function roundToStep (value, step) {
  return new Decimal(value).toNearest(step).toNumber();
}

console.log(roundToStep(1.005, 0.01)); // 1.01

RunKit example

Using remainder operator (modulus):

(n - 1 - (n - 1) % 3) + 3

By the code given below use can change any numbers and you can find any multiple of any number

let numbers = [8,11,15];
let multiple = 3
let result = numbers.map(myFunction);
function myFunction(n){
let answer = Math.round(n/multiple) * multiple ;
    if (answer <= 0)
    return multiple
    else
    return answer
}
console.log("Closest Multiple of " + multiple  + " is " + result);
