target number

Number to hit

A target number is a specific value you're trying to reach or match.

In games and puzzles, it's the number players must achieve through calculation or combination: Use these four digits to make the target number 24.

In business or fitness contexts, it's a goal or benchmark: Our target number for quarterly sales is 50,000 units.
