digits

Zero through nine

Digits are the fingers and toes—the ten appendages at the ends of hands and feet.

In mathematics, digits are the numerals 0 through 9, the basic symbols for writing numbers.

The connection is ancient: humans counted on their fingers.

In slang, Can I get your digits? asks for a phone number.
