If you're referring to numerology, well...I'm not certain that most Christians give much credence to it all but, here goes...
3 = the Godhead
6 = depravity or evil
7 = perfection or completion
8 = Jesus Christ
3 = the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit
6 is one short of perfection, and so represents Satan, or evil, or the antichrist, hence the 666 is a trinity of evil, the antichrist, the false prophet, and the dragon or Satan.
8 is as much greater than perfection as evil is short of perfection, hence it symbolizes Jesus Christ.
Is this what you are asking?

The number 3 is referred to the trinity (there is also an unholy trinity) 6 is the number of imperfection, the number of man (the Antichrist will be numbered 666) 7 is the number of completion, I don't know about 8, but you left out 40. Notice that Jesus was tempted for forty days, Moses was in the desert for forty years.

The Trinity is so complex to answer. I am just a lay person and do not feel qualified to answer. God is the Father The Son and The Holy Spirit AMEN. They are all and one in each other. St Augustine would be a good author to read up on this subject. Mary allowed herself to be the mother of Jesus Christ. She accepted him as the savior before anyone else knew about him. She had the purest faith and that is why we honor her so much. Jesus translates into "chosen one" or "anointed" It is the name that God has given him. It doesn't lower God's status at all. It means he is the one to save the world and rule mankind. They say God has no gender. No idea why we still say Father. We believe all three major religions are from the same roots but all have different beliefs. Jews and Muslims do not believe Jesus is the Messiah like Christians do in addition to other beliefs. Jesus Is both human and divinity. He is the word made flesh. Still God. Jesus died on the cross to take our place for our sins. Died to fulfill the prophecy that he would die for forgiveness of sins. He allowed himself to be killed. He could have stopped it anytime. Again God loved the world and sent his son to die for our sins. He was resurrected on the third day to fulfill scriptural prophecy. All of the above. Catholicism is the true church because it was institued by Jesus Christ the son of God. I encourage you to seek out a priest for deeper answers. I am again a lay person and do not have the theological training to go deeper than this. I am just a woman of deep faith trying to help a seeker. I recommend reading the bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church for more information. God bless.

First of all I will wish you As-Salam-Wallikun like Jesus christ wished to his diciples in the upper room in Hebrew Solam-Allikum (May Peace be on You) Luke 24:36
Coming to your question I think religion has to do nothing with numbers. As I also dont consider 13 as unlucky. why should I consider it as unlucky? This all is nonsense.
But speaking logically it has something to do with calculations. I went through the Holy Bible and was very surprise to see mathematical contradiction the Bible. As our creator should know maths better that us.

Seven is usually a sign of completeness

you forgot 9.
really, that's a pretty important number: How many days in a novena. (3X3) (How many days spent in the upper room before Pentecost)
And you forgot 40 (How many days spent in the desert before starting his ministry) (How many days after his death that he ascended)
3: God's number
6: Devil's number
7: How many days in a week
8: No idea

"These" numbers, or "this number". Please brush up your Grammar.
As to the numbers, I think you're just making things up.
