What's the difference between Floor and Rounddown?

Looking at the function help guide there doesn't seem to be any...

Many thanks,

Chris

ROUNDDOWN only rounds to a decimal place or a power of ten (down to nearest
1, 10, 100, .1,01, etc.), whereas as FLOOR sets it down to the nearest
value, which can be a decimal place or power of 10 like ROUNDOWN, or any
other value.

So

=ROUNDDOWN(223,-2)

is the same as

=FLOOR(223,100)

but there is no direct equivalent of say

=FLOOR(223,110)

You can get it with

=ROUNDDOWN(223/110,1)*110

but I know which I prefer
