Detailed instructions

1. Set Min and Max to define the range your random numbers must fall within.
2. Enter your Step value — the interval every result must be a multiple of, counted from Min.
3. Set Count to how many stepped random numbers you want generated in one batch.
4. Click Generate to produce the list of step-aligned random numbers instantly.
5. Copy individual values or the full list and paste them into your spreadsheet, code, or document.

Use Cases

• •Seeding a Postgres test table with product prices in $5 increments
• •Generating D&D movement values as multiples of 5 feet per turn
• •Creating arithmetic worksheet questions where answers are multiples of 7
• •Sampling memory buffer sizes (256, 512, 1024 bytes) for performance benchmarks
• •Populating mock user records with ages rounded to the nearest 5 in Faker scripts

Tips

• →To get powers of 2 (256, 512, 1024), set Min to 256, Step to 256, and Max to 4096 — each result will be a clean power-of-2 multiple.
• →If you need unique values only, keep Count at or below (Max − Min) / Step + 1, which is the total number of valid positions in your range.
• →For pricing simulations, pair a step of 0.05 with a min like 0.99 or 1.49 to mimic real retail price endings.
• →Use a step equal to your max minus your min to always get exactly one value — useful when you want a random snap-point from a short fixed list.
• →When generating test data for multiple columns, run the generator several times with different step values and combine the lists to create varied but structured datasets.
• →A step of 90 between 0 and 270 gives exactly four cardinal rotation angles — handy for randomising sprite orientations in game prototypes.
