var n = 800;    
var hours = Math.floor(n/100);
var minutes = ('0' + (n%100)).slice(-2);
var time = hours + ':' + minutes;

Note the rounding on hours as well, otherwise you could end up with something like "8.56:56".

If all you are trying to do here is insert a colon before the last two digits you can just do a string replace:

var time = ("" + n).replace(/(\d\d)$/,":$1");

Or slice out the hours and minutes and concatenate with a colon:

var time = "" + n;
time = time.slice(0,-2) + ":" + time.slice(-2);

Just a shortcut solution :P

var a = 800;
var b = a.toString();
var first = b.replace(b.substring(b.length - 2),":"+b.substring(b.length - 2));
