In simple words, the FLOOR.MATH function rounds down the number to the nearest specified multiple. FLOOR.MATH rounds to the nearest integer, using a 1 as significance. Positive numbers with decimal values are rounded down to the nearest integer (e.g. 6.7 is rounded down to 6) while negative numbers with decimal values are rounded away from zero (e.g. -5.8 is rounded to -6).

=FLOOR.MATH(-6.64, 1, -1) \\ returns -6
