    Find the next largest even multiple of the following...

    To round off an integer m to the next largest even multiple of another integer n the following
    formula can be used: k = m + n – m % n
    Write a program to find the next largest even multiple for the following values of m and n:
    (m ,n)=(365,7) , (m ,n)=(12258,23) and (m , n)=(996 ,4)

    Re: How to find the next largest even multiple?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main (void)
    {
        int i;
        int j;
        int nextmultiple;
    
        nextmultiple = (i + j) - (i % j);
    
        i = 365;
        j = 7;
    
        printf ("The next largest even multiple when i = 365 and j = 7 is %i\n", nextmultiple);
    
        i = 12258;
        j = 23;
    
        printf ("The next largest even multiple when i = 12,258 and j = 23 %i\n", nextmultiple);
    
        i = 996;
        j = 4;
    
        printf ("The next largest even multiple when i = 996 and j = 4 %i\n", nextmultiple);
    
        return 0;
    }

    Dear jamsdolpw, please, don't start new threads with the same problem as you have already started!
    And, please, always use Code tags while posting code snippets!

    Re: Find the next largest even multiple of the following...

    Code:
    nextmultiple = (i + j) - (i % j);
    This is trying to calculate nextmultiple before the values of i and j have been set. This calculation needs to be done after the required values of i and j have been assigned.
