```
public static Quantizer<BigInteger> withCompressionFactor(int compressionFactor)
```
    Returns a Quantizer which converts the input value to the nearest multiple of the compression factor, in the direction towards zero.
    Examples (compression factor 5):
    
    Input value 0 -> 0
    
    Input value 4 -> 0
    
    Input value 5 -> 5
    
    Input value 9 -> 5
    
    Input value -4 -> 0
    
    Input value -5 -> -5
    
    Input value -9 -> -5
    Parameters:
    
    compressionFactor - The number of adjacent mathematical integers (>= 2) to coalesce to a single key
    
    Returns:
    
    A Quantizer which converts the input value to the nearest multiple of the compression factor, in the direction towards zero
