This command works in CAS View only.

Numeric[ <Expression> ]
Tries to determine a numerical approximation of the given expression. The number of decimals depends on the global rounding you choose in the Options Menu.
Example: Numeric[3/2] returns 1.5.
Numeric[ <Expression>, <significant figures> ]
Tries to determine a numerical approximation of the given expression, using the entered number of significant figures.
Example: Numeric[sin(1), 20 ] returns 0.84147098480789650666.
