Problem in converting number in shell script

Hi All,

I am writing a shell script in which I want to convert a number like :

Suppose the number is "98487657" and we have to convert it to "98000000", what I want to do is to retain first 2 digits and convert all remaining digits to "0".

Number could be of any length (length > 2).

Thanks in advance
