Google Maps API - Closest marker function change t

I am using the formula found in this question to find the closest marker on the map to the current position. I would like to modify this formula so that it finds the closet n number of locations(closest 5 locations, closest 10 locations, etc.) and I am not sure how to accomplish this.

Here is the modified formula I am using:

function rad(x) {return x*Math.PI/180;}
function find_closest_marker(center, map) {
    var lat = center.lat();
    var lng = center.lng();
    var R = 6371; // radius of earth in km
    var distances = [];
    var closest = -1;
    for( i=0;i<markers.length; i++ ) {
        var mlat = markers[i].position.lat();
        var mlng = markers[i].position.lng();
        var dLat  = rad(mlat - lat);
        var dLong = rad(mlng - lng);
        var a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
            Math.cos(rad(lat)) * Math.cos(rad(lat)) * Math.sin(dLong/2) * Math.sin(dLong/2);
        var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
        var d = R * c;
        distances[i] = d;
        if ( closest == -1 || d < distances[closest] ) {
            closest = i;
        }
    }

    //Log title of closest marker
    console.log(markers[closest].title);
}

Here is how I am loading the markers:

// Add markers to the map
function setMarkers(center, map) {
    var json = (function () { 
        var json = null; 
        $.ajax({ 
            'async': false, 
            'global': false, 
            'url': "js/data.json", 
            'dataType': "json", 
            'success': function (data) {
                 json = data; 
             }
        });
        return json;
    })();
    // Loop over each of the json elements
    for (var i = 0, length = json.length; i < length; i++) {
        var data = json[i],
        latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.lon);
        // Create a marker and place it on the map
        var icon = 'assets/marker.png';
        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: latLng,
            map: map,
            icon: icon,
            title: data.loc
        });
        markers.push(marker);
        infoBox(map, marker, data);
    }
}

How can I modify the formula further so that it finds the closest n number of markers rather than just the single closest one?

You could use the (slightly modified) findClosestN function from this question (changed gmarkers to markers, changed the function to return the closest array limited to numberOfResults elements)

function findClosestN(pt, numberOfResults) {
    var closest = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
        markers[i].distance = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(pt, markers[i].getPosition());
        markers[i].setMap(null);
        closest.push(markers[i]);
    }
    closest.sort(sortByDist);
    return closest.splice(0,numberOfResults);
}

function sortByDist(a, b) {
    return (a.distance - b.distance)
}
