Convert a whole number amount of cents to a readable dollar amount in JavaScript?

Try dividing the number of cents by 100 to get the dollar equivalent. I.E.:

const number = 1629;
const dollars = (cents / 100).toLocaleString("en-US", {style:"currency", currency:"USD"});

dollars now equals "$16.29"

Why not divide through 100 before toLocaleString?

var num = 1629; // this represents $16.29
num /= 100; // cent to dollar
num.toLocaleString("en-US", {style:"currency", currency:"USD"});
