@AetherProgrammer I like it and will probably use that approach in the future. I won't change my answer for readability sake. SteelMettle1 394 — 4y

You will have to do something like this:
local coins = 8985923
local simplifyCoins = 0
if coins > 999999 then
simplifyCoins = coins / 1000000
-- coins above 999,999 will now show up in the format: 5.5
simplifyCoins = math.floor(simplifyCoins * 100)/100
--rounds number down to 2 decimal places
simplifyCoins = tostring(simplifyCoins)
-- turn it into a string
print(simplifyCoins)
print(simplifyCoins.."M")
elseif coins > 999 then
simplifyCoins = coins / 1000
--coins above 999 will now show up in the format: 5.5
simplifyCoins = math.floor(simplifyCoins * 100)/100
--rounds number to 2 decimal places
simplifyCoins = tostring(simplifyCoins)
-- turn it into a string
print(simplifyCoins.."K")
end
Prints
--8.98 --8.98M
basically you just check to see how high coins is, then divide it by whatever place it falls on, then concatenate an "M" or "K".
[EDIT] I made it round down 2 decimal places to make it easier to read for the larger numbers. Also,I would put the repeated code inside of a function that is called within the if statements to avoid repeating the same code (that would be a lot of wasted lines if you went up to quintillions)

I have no way of knowing exactly where to put it in your code. It should be where you want this simplification to occur. If you want it to appear in a leaderboard or something, then it should be in a server script. If you want it in a player's GUI then it should be in a local script. SteelMettle1 394 — 4y

Also, the prints are just to show you how to concatenate the K or M. Instead of the prints you'll probably make a textLabel.Text equal to simplifyCoins.."K" SteelMettle1 394 — 4y

You could properly put the script into a module an having the script to call for it. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/ModuleScript Also put the module script into a place where both the client and server can see it unless you just want to handle everything on the server and not the client.
