Need help!

I really need help. I'm not that good at Computercraft but I want to do a cool project and it is almost done, I just need one more thing.
My project works with numbers, and I need somthing to format they like that:
Original number - 1890
Formated: 1.5K
Other example
Original number - 3543256
Formated: 3.5M
What I tried gave me a result of like that:
Original number - 1890
Formated: 1.890K
I don't want that because on milions for example it would be 3.543256M and the text size would be the same, witch I don't want…

What code are you using?

It was

Spoiler

m = peripheral.wrap("left")
c = peripheral.wrap("right")
m.clear()
m.setCursorPos(4,1)
m.write("Current Energy Stored")
local timer = 0
local fst = 0




while true do
cell = c.getEnergyStored("south")
m.setBackgroundColor(colors.white)
m.clear()
m.setCursorPos(1,1)
m.setTextColor(colors.red)
cell = (cell/1000)
print("Current Energy:" ..cell)
sleep(0.1)
timer = timer+0.1
print(timer)
if timer >5 then
m.setCursorPos(1,2)
m.setTextColor(colors.orange)
m.write("Energy use (5sec): ,..(cell-fst) ")
fst = c.getEnergyStored("south")
timer = 0
end
end

Take a look at math.floor().
math.floor( 5.3 ) = 5
math.floor( 2.97 ) = 2
If you want it to go to 1 dp do:
math.floor( n * 10 ) / 10

you don't. as a general rule we do not remove or close a topic in Ask a Pro in the event that others can learn from it, or if you have any further questions related to the same code/script.

Hey this community is huge isn't it? I asked it and 7 hours or less was awnered from a moderator :D/>
Know what? I just want to wrote in the same code a percentage thing just to be more fancy,
and I tryed everything and I will say: ITS HARD.
Can anybody help me with that?

I'm not sure what you mean by "percentage thing", are you referring to the percentage left in the cell? If so, percentage is calculated like this:

current / max * 100

Oh, also:

^please use those. (without the spaces)
