The easiest way to do this is with this program:

1st, put your variable in the Ans variable.  (either type it out on
the home screen or put the number on a blank line.)  Then run this
program.  The number will be a string in the x variable.  

program n2s.85p
:LinR {0,1},{Ans,Ans
:Eq>St(RegEq,x
:Sub(x,1,length x-3/->/x
:Return                      ;this line only nessicary if you are
runing                              ;it from another program
