Number → nimewo, chif
Use "nimewo" when talking about groups of numbers such as telephone numbers, age, numbers of students, etc...
"chif" is used when talking about specific numbers that make up "a group of numbers", as if you were talking about specific letters that make up one word.
To be safe, you could always use the word "nimewo'.
The last time I used the word "chif", I was a student in elementary school.
