How can I print 413284921265094656?

Question

alert(413284921265094656 + "");

but it prints 413284921265094660, even if I "convert" it in string.

@CesarMiguel: yes, but I got 413284921265094656 from a json, so I need to "convert" in string before. — markzzz, Jan 17 '14 at 15:36
No, that's just seems to be the only solution, use a library :( — markzzz, Jan 17 '14 at 16:21
Can be only solution. From what i read, your json result is to longer. Good luck using library ;) — CesarMiguel, Jan 17 '14 at 16:25

Perhaps I don't understand the question, but...

alert("413284921265094656")

The interpreter is trying to store 413284921265094656 as a double-precision floating point number, but the number exceeds the precision limit, so the least significant bits are being lost. You can't store a number with that much precision (roughly speaking, that many digits or "significant figures") in JavaScript without use of a big-int library.
