first number is Nitrogen, which is important to leaf production
second number is Phosphorus which is important to bloom production
third number is Potassium which is important to root production and overall health of the plant....
for more flowers, get 'bloom food' which would have a number like 5-10-5..............

those three numbers stand for
Nitrogen
Phosphate
Potassium
the middle number phosphate ~ promotes root shoot & bloom
your question is pretty vague
if you are trying to get more flowers get a fertilizer with a high middle number & low first number because nitrogen promotes foliage growth (the last number is for overall health)
20-20-20 is good for most plants & the lawn but it won't give you extra flowers

Sorry, the question makes no sense to me. I think you are asking about the numbers on fertilizer. They stand for Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium in that order and are the percentages in the fertilizer. As for flowering, plants use more Phosphorous when flowering which is why fertilizers for flowering plant have a higher percentage.
