Question

I have a number

For example:

8183

What I need is to convert it to a float number-

For example 8183

(8183).toFixed(2);

will return me

8183.00

But I need to truncate it further, so the final number will be

8.18

So basically I need to make it float number with just 2 decimal places.
I tried using the Math.floor and ceil but couldnt figure it out!

Answer 1

Well what you’re trying to accomplish is not completely clear, but I think that if you start by dividing by 1000, then call toFixed on it, it will give you the desired result.

var before = 8183;
var after = (before / 1000).toFixed(2); //8.18
