# Predefined Steps

You can configure the way the Slider divides its range and updates the value by using the step options.

## Small Steps

To define the small step of the Slider, use the [`smallStep`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#smallstep) property. Based on the [`min`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#min) and [`max`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#max) values, the Slider splits the track into equal ticks. For example, if the `min` value is `0` (zero), the `max` value is `4` (four) and the [`smallStep`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#smallstep) is `1` (one), the Slider displays ticks which indicate four steps. If the `min` value is `2` (two), the `max` value is `4` (four) and the `smallStep` is `1` (one), the Slider displays two steps.

The Slider applies the steps whenever the user interacts with the component. When the side arrow buttons are clicked or when the handle is dragged, the Slider value changes with small steps. The `smallStep` property accepts both `integer` and `float` values.

## Large Steps

To define the large step of the Slider, use the [`largeStep`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/slidercomponent#largestep) property. The property specifies that every n<sup>th</sup> step will render a large tick and a label. The `largeStep` value determines the step with which the Slider will be updated when the `Page Up` and `Page Down` arrow keys are pressed, and has to be a positive integer.
