numAbbr.abbreviate(12, 1)
// => 12
numAbbr.abbreviate(0, 2)
// => 0
numAbbr.abbreviate(1234, 0)
// => 1k
numAbbr.abbreviate(34567, 2)
// => 34.57k
numAbbr.abbreviate(918395, 1)

numAbbr.abbreviate(2134124, 2)
// => 2.13m
numAbbr.abbreviate(47475782130, 2)
// => 47.48b
numAbbr.abbreviate(-1234, 0)
// => -1k
numAbbr.abbreviate(-918395, 1)
// => -918.4k
numAbbr.abbreviate(-47475782130, 2)
// => -47.48b
`
