How to show literal javascript as part of a regular body in HTML?

Question

I have the HTML below

<body> <p><font color="red">Use script as `<script>alert('123')</script>` - must be a number</p> </body>

How to show it as is? I want to avoid deleting script tags and make sure the browser is not executing the script.
