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

var num = 1629; // this represents $16.29

num.toLocaleString(en-US, {style:currency, currency:USD});

// outputs $1,629

So far this is as close as I can come. I tried all of the options that toLocaleString provides but there seems to be no easy way to get the outcome I want (which is not as expected). Is there no built-in function that exists in JS?

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"
