Querying a number column.

I have noticed that you can query using Number column in SQL like this:

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE numbercol = '100'

...where numbercol is a Number Column! The bit I'm questioning is the quotes around the 100. Normally for a number column you would not use these I know but is there any performance decrease if you do?
