NumberForm[expr, n] prints with approximate real numbers in expr given to n-digit precision.

NumberForm[expr, n, f] prints with approximate real numbers having n digits, with f digits to the right of the decimal point.

NumberForm works on integers as well as approximate real numbers.

The following options can be given:

All options except ExponentFunction apply to integers as well as approximate real numbers.

You can mix NumberForm and BaseForm.

NumberForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.
