Here is a simple task with several complicated answers. I'd love to read your suggestions?

I am printing a 13-month graph of values. I can find the highest value, which might range from tens to millions. The graph's vertical scale will have 5 values. I plan to reduce the top scale number to be less than 100,000. But I want it to be an even value that is a larger value than the highest of the 13 values I am graphing. Since I want to deal with whole numbers on the graph, my target is to calculate the lowest number, then multiply it by 2, 3, 4, & 5 to get the other values.

For instance I am thinking that it might be something like this:

Highest value First scale value
123 25
1234 250
12345 2500
123456 25 (x000)
1234567 250 (x000)
12345678 2500 (x000)

Does this make sense?
(I typed this with a fixed font, so that the columns would align.
