The numbers you mean..is the registration number of the aircraft..
Each country has its own recognition code for example usa have n-and then the other letters is "the id of the aircraft"//G- is for England //SX-is for Greece//EC- is for Spain etc...
The last two letters are very helpful for the staff of the airport and the airline employees..Example: we have the aircraft B737-400 SX-BCA parked on the apron..
The last letter (A) appears at the top of the tail of every aircraft..and that is used in order to recognize the aircraft from distance when passengers are ferried by buses or when staff approches parked aircrafts for refueling or baggage loading..
Last 2 letters (CA) appear on the nosewheel gear cover..that is used by enginners in order to make their life easier when they are completing checks on the aircraft..
Last 2 lettes (CA) appear also on the nose of the aircraft in order to help the staff when they approch the aircraft from the front or it is parked on a gate...
And at last the whole registration number appears typed inside the cockpit..So in the cockpit of the aircraft you will find the (SX-BCA) in order to help the pilots in communication with the atc and staff of the airport or airline...

If you mean the number appearing on the fuselage of the airplane, it is the registration number, unique to that airplane, on file with the FAA or the respective country's aviation authority.
If you mean the airplane's model number, that is a manufacturer's designation for its product, ie. B757, B767-300, B747-400.

Just like a license plate on your car, if your refering to the N number on the tail. Allows communication between pilots and controllers to be effective by giving each individual aircraft a different number.

The number located on the fuselage known as the "N" number is the registration number for the aircraft with the FAA. It is a unique number for each aircraft which allows the FAA to known who the aircraft is registered to.

If you are talking about the "N" number it is the number displayed on the aircraft (fully visible)that is registered in the USA.
If you are talking about the pilot stating to ATC "I have the numbers" it is telling ATC he has monitored the latest weather conditions that have been pre-recorded. He may also say I have information bravo or charlie or delta...(the sequence of the weather recordings)

It's when you take the age of the pilot, co-pilot and navigator and add them together.
