Yes, it is possible.

To convert a number to a string, built-in functions str() and formatted strings (f-strings) are used.

The str() function returns the string representation of an object.

number = 123
string_number = str(number)
// string_number is now '123'

Formatted strings (f-strings), available from Python 3.6, allow inserting variable values directly into a string.

number = 456
string_from_f_string = f"{number}"
// string_from_f_string is now '456'

You can also use the .format() method for string objects.

number = 789
string_from_format = "{}".format(number)
// string_from_format is now '789'

To convert a number to a string with specific formatting (for example, with a fixed number of decimal places, thousand separators, etc.), formatted strings or the .format() method with format specifiers are also used.

pi = 3.14159
formatted_pi = f"{pi:.2f}"
// formatted_pi is now '3.14'

large_number = 1000000
formatted_large_number = f"{large_number:,}"
// formatted_large_number is now '1,000,000'

The built-in repr() function can also return a string representation of an object, but it is intended for debugging and usually contains more information than the simple string representation.

number = 123
repr_number = repr(number)
// repr_number is now '123' (in this case, it matches str())
