I assume that you mean the IP adress of a webserver when talking about 
'numbers'. 
To find out the IP adress of a URL you have to do a DNS (Domain Name Service) 
lookup. This usually done by your webbrowser automatically in the net-wide 
DNX service whenever you enter or click on a URL.

You can do it manually here:

Look at the left, top most entry box 'DNS lookup', enter any URL you like and 
click on lookup. Entering the same data in 'WHOIS lookup' will show you who 
owns this URL, and there is a lot more cool stuff on that website.

Usually you shouldn't need the numeric IP adresses...
