# Number Format
The *Number Format* action node reformats a number input into another specified format.
This node is typically used after a [*Request Input* ](/flow/user-facing-nodes/input-nodes/menu-nodes-ask-for-input.md)node where a customer is required to provide a number or an API call where a number is returned.
