#number_to_currency(number, options = {})
Formats a number
into a currency string (e.g., $13.65). You can customize the format in the options
hash.
Options
-
:locale
- Sets the locale to be used for formatting (defaults to current locale). -
:precision
- Sets the level of precision (defaults to 2). -
:unit
- Sets the denomination of the currency (defaults to “$”). -
:separator
- Sets the separator between the units (defaults to “.”). -
:delimiter
- Sets the thousands delimiter (defaults to “,”). -
:format
- Sets the format for non-negative numbers (defaults to “%u%n”). Fields are%u
for the currency, and%n
for the number. -
:negative_format
- Sets the format for negative numbers (defaults to prepending an hyphen to the formatted number given by:format
). Accepts the same fields than:format
, except%n
is here the absolute value of the number.

#number_to_human(number, options = {})
Pretty prints (formats and approximates) a number in a way it is more readable by humans (eg.: 1200000000 becomes “1.2 Billion”). This is useful for numbers that can get very large (and too hard to read).
See #number_to_human_size if you want to print a file size.
You can also define your own unit-quantifier names if you want to use other decimal units (eg.: 1500 becomes “1.5 kilometers”, 0.150 becomes “150 milliliters”, etc). You may define a wide range of unit quantifiers, even fractional ones (centi, deci, mili, etc).
Options
-
:locale
- Sets the locale to be used for formatting (defaults to current locale). -
:precision
- Sets the precision of the number (defaults to 3). -
:significant
- Iftrue
, precision will be the # of significant_digits. Iffalse
, the # of fractional digits (defaults totrue
) -
:separator
- Sets the separator between the fractional and integer digits (defaults to “.”). -
:delimiter
- Sets the thousands delimiter (defaults to “”). -
:strip_insignificant_zeros
- Iftrue
removes insignificant zeros after the decimal separator (defaults totrue
) -
:units
- A Hash of unit quantifier names. Or a string containing an i18n scope where to find this hash. It might have the following keys:-
integers:
:unit
,:ten
,:hundred
,:thousand
,:million
,:billion
,:trillion
,:quadrillion
-
fractionals:
:deci
,:centi
,:mili
,:micro
,:nano
,:pico
,:femto
-
-
:format
- Sets the format of the output string (defaults to “%n %u”). The field types are:-
%u - The quantifier (ex.: 'thousand')
-
%n - The number
-
Examples
number_to_human(123) # => "123"
number_to_human(1234) # => "1.23 Thousand"
number_to_human(12345) # => "12.3 Thousand"
number_to_human(1234567) # => "1.23 Million"
number_to_human(1234567890) # => "1.23 Billion"
number_to_human(1234567890123) # => "1.23 Trillion"
number_to_human(1234567890123456) # => "1.23 Quadrillion"
number_to_human(1234567890123456789) # => "1230 Quadrillion"
number_to_human(489939, precision: 2) # => "490 Thousand"
number_to_human(489939, precision: 4) # => "489.9 Thousand"
number_to_human(1234567, precision: 4,
significant: false) # => "1.2346 Million"
number_to_human(1234567, precision: 1,
separator: ',',
significant: false) # => "1,2 Million"
number_to_human(500000000, precision: 5) # => "500 Million"
number_to_human(12345012345, significant: false) # => "12.345 Billion"
Non-significant zeros after the decimal separator are stripped out by default (set :strip_insignificant_zeros
to false
to change that):
number_to_human(12.00001) # => “12” number_to_human(12.00001, strip_insignificant_zeros: false) # => “12.0”
Custom Unit Quantifiers
You can also use your own custom unit quantifiers:
number_to_human(500000, units: { unit: 'ml', thousand: 'lt' }) # => "500 lt"
If in your ::I18n locale you have:
distance:
centi:
one: "centimeter"
other: "centimeters"
unit:
one: "meter"
other: "meters"
thousand:
one: "kilometer"
other: "kilometers"
billion: "gazillion-distance"
Then you could do:
number_to_human(543934, units: :distance) # => "544 kilometers"
number_to_human(54393498, units: :distance) # => "54400 kilometers"
number_to_human(54393498000, units: :distance) # => "54.4 gazillion-distance"
number_to_human(343, units: :distance, precision: 1) # => "300 meters"
number_to_human(1, units: :distance) # => "1 meter"
number_to_human(0.34, units: :distance) # => "34 centimeters"
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/number_helper.rb', line 341
def number_to_human(number, = {}) NumberToHumanConverter.convert(number, ) end
#number_to_human_size(number, options = {})

into a more understandable representation (e.g., giving it 1500 yields 1.5 KB). This method is useful for reporting file sizes to users. You can customize the format in the options
hash.
See #number_to_human if you want to pretty-print a generic number.
