JavaScript toFixed method formats a number with a specific number of digits to the right of the decimal. This means you can set numbers to a fixed decimal length.
Note:
- It converts a number into a string and rounding to a specified number of decimals.
- Zero added a decimal point if the given number of decimals is higher than the actual number.

JavaScript toFixed without rounding
We have a number var x = 2.305185185185195;
x = x.toFixed(5);x = 2.30519 but require this without rounding i.e. 2.30518
Basically, this solution moves the point to the left with a factor of 10^d and gets an integer of that and divided the value with the former factor to get the right digits.
function getFlooredFixed(v, d) {
return (Math.floor(v * Math.pow(10, d)) / Math.pow(10, d)).toFixed(d);
}
var x = 2.305185185185195;
document.write(getFlooredFixed(x, 5));Do comment if you have any questions and suggestions on this topic.
