A "number" usually means an amount of something, like one hundered or ten million or one-half. A "digit", since we use a base-10 number-writing system, refers to a number between 0 and 9. A "digit" can also refer to a single digit in the written representation of a number - in the number 156, "5" is the digit in the tens place.

A digit can have both the place value and face value but a number can be formed with a single digit or more than one digit. 5 is a number also 6940 is a number. 5 is a single digit number but 6940 is a 4 digits number.Hence digit has only a single entity,it can have singular or plural sense but cannot have both these two sense at the same time. A number is always unique.The number 5 is always unique and constant,its value cannot change.Numbers may have singular or plural sense.6940 is a single number but 5,6940,79,837, are three numbers and all are unique.But if we write 5694079837 then this is a single number,its value is constant and unique.

Digits make up numbers.
Yet a digit can also be a finger or a toe.
