Below is the example of the Number toString() Method.

Example:

<script type="text/javascript">

var num=12;

document.write("Output : " + num.toString(2));

</script>
Output:
```
Output:1100
```

The toString() method in Javascript is used with a number and converts the number to a string. It is used to return a string representing the specified Number object.

Syntax:

num.toString(base)

The toString() method is used with a number num as shown in above syntax using the ‘.’ operator. This method will convert num to a string.

Parameters Used: This method accepts a single optional parameter base. This parameter specifies the base in which the integer is represented in the string. It is an integer between 2 and 36 which is used to specify the base for representing numeric values.

Return Value: The num.toString() method returns a string representing the specified number object.

Below are some examples to illustrate the working of toString() method in JavaScript:

Converting a number to a string with base 2: To convert a number to a string with base 2, we will have to call the toString() method by passing 2 as a parameter.

<script type="text/javascript">

var num=213;

document.write("Output : " + num.toString(2));

</script>
Output:
```
Output:11010101
```
Converting a number to a string with base 8: To convert a number to a string with base 8, we will have to call the toString() method by passing 8 as a parameter.

<script type="text/javascript">

var num=213;

document.write("Output : " + num.toString(8));

</script>
Output:
```
Output : 325
```
Converting a number to a string with base 16: To convert a number to a string with base 16, we will have to call the toString() method by passing 16 as a parameter.



<script type="text/javascript">

    var num=213;

    document.write("Output : " + num.toString(16));

</script>
Output:
```
Output : d5
```
When no parameter is passed: If the toString() method is called without passing any parameter then the number will be converted to string without change in BASE. Below is the program to illustrate this:
<script type="text/javascript">

var num=213;

document.write("Output : " + num.toString());

</script>
Output:
```
Output :213
```
