A dictionary says:
Figure: a symbol for a number
Digit: a word, letter, symbol, or figure representing a number.
Number: a mathematical unit used to count or express an amount, quantity.
I don't see a big difference between a figure and a digit. What is it?
Best Answer
You're using a select subset of many definitions for figure, number, and digit.
A digit is a single numeral (0-9), like the digit 5 in the number 5, or the digit 5 in the number 2507.
A number can have one or more digits, like 7 or 2507 or 2,507.38.
A figure can be a shape, a diagram, or a number; if used to describe a number, it can be composed of a single digit or of multiple digits.
