Finish Table Columns With Number Divisibility Function

Well I'm working on a script where you must complete the table to look right or I might be missing a TD which I can't have, so I had this problem where I only had 9 results in the db and I needed to know how many more I needed to add(columns) to complete a four column table.

So:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 | | |

the |'s didn't display since I didn't know how to get the extra td's and came up with this function.

PHP Code:


			
function number_divisibility($num1,$num2)

{

    $save = 0;

    if($num1 % $num2 == 0) return 0;

    if($num1 % $num2 != 0)

    {

        while(True)

        {

            $save++;

            if(($num1+$save) % $num2 == 0) return $save;

        }

    }

}

PHP Code:


			
number_divisibility(9,4);//outputs 3 :D

Pretty handy function
