How can shorten the use of characters that a sounds time length uses?

I want to remove the multiple useless characters shown after the period.

Number on the left side of the ‘/’.

You can use the math library for it.

math.floor(x) rounds down a number, 1.8 being 1
math.ceil(x) rounds up a number, 1.8 being 2
math.round(x) rounds a number, 1.8 being 2

Or if you would like to keep a decimal, you can do string.format("%.1f", num).

I will most likely end up using math.round(x), can you show me an example of how I will be able to use it?

Yeah?

Label.Text = Sound.TimePosition .. '/' .. math.round(Sound.TimeLength)
