How to format numbers similar to Stack Overflow reputation format

I have long numbers in JS and I’d like to make them appear in a shorter, and more eaisier to understand way..

So:

1,000,000 = 1M

1,200,000 = 1.2M

1,450 = 1.45K and so on...

Any ideas how I could do this in JS or JQuery?

Just for fun, check out Code Golf: Friendly Number Abbreviator

The shortest JS answer:

function m(n,d){x=(''+n).length,p=Math.pow,d=p(10,d)
x-=x%3
return Math.round(n*d/p(10,x))/d+" kMGTPE"[x/3]}

p.s. this is probably not the fastest or best solution.
