You can try this

 function number_formation($number, $precision = 3) {
        if ($number < 1000000) {

            $formatted_number = number_format($number); /* less than a million */
        } else if ($number < 1000000000) {

            $formatted_number = number_format($number / 1000000, $precision) . 'M'; /* billion */
        } else {

            $formatted_number = number_format($number  / 1000000000, $precision) . 'B'; /* for billion */
        }

        return $formatted_number;
    }
