When I get followers_count, It gives like "2.9m" why not exact figure?

This is a scraper based on public data available from the UI on instagram's webapp. Please take a look at this picture and it should make sense.

Closing this though as it's not a real issue. If you'd like to create a PR to convert it to actual interger values I'm always willing to accept new/improved features.
