To use a thousands separator, you can use the Intl.NumberFormat method. For instance Sweden uses the space as thousands separator, so you could reference that:

console.log(new Intl.NumberFormat('se').format(1000000));

For a way to format a number with K or M suffixes, see this complete answer.

if (number >= 1000000) {
    document.write((number / 1000000).toFixed(2) + "M")
}
else if (number >= 1000) {
    document.write((number / 1000).toFixed(2) + "K");
}
else {
    document.write(number)
}
