How to put (dot) to between of the number

Question

I am trying to change the type of the number but I don't know how and what keyword to search:

I would like to change the basic type of number in html from:

2000000 -> 2.000.000

And it will show on the screen the number have the dot in between.

ps: the input is number, do I need to use Javascript to convert it to string and add to html?

`do I need to use Javascript to convert it to string and add to html?`, probably yes. — Charlie Fish, Dec 28 '18 at 01:16
Is this number the result of a form or script process where one number would be `3.200.000` and another number might be `55.000`? — elbrant, Dec 28 '18 at 01:18

You need to use JavaScript to do it.

const separateNumber = (n) => {
  return String(n).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d\d\d)+(?!\d))/g, "$1.")
}
