Shorten long numbers to include K/M/B/T

Question

I\'ve checked out Rails number_to_human but it\'s not exactly what i want.

I\'d like to shorten long numbers without including the full unit name:

42         


        

Answer 1

Like this:

number_to_human(a_number,format:'%n%u',units:{thousand:'K',million:'M',billion:'B'})
