title: Find closest match in a column using laravel
body: <p>I'm wondering how I can find the closest value that matches a certain number from a table.
  What I currently have is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$result = DB::table('numbers')
              -&gt;orderBy('s/me - $input', 'desc')
              -&gt;get();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>s/me</strong> being the column name I want to find the match. But it keeps giving me an <code>Interface 'Throwable' not found</code> error.</p>
