A number is both a noun and an adjective.

When a number is used on it's own, a number is a noun(see page nine).

When a number is used to describe a noun, a number is an adjective (there are nine pages).

Example sentences:

Noun: The number of digits in the average American telephone number is ten.

Adjective: There are ten digits in the average American telephone number.

* A number may be considered to act as a pronoun when a noun is the antecedent

Pronoun : Bill and Ted left the house, and the two were never seen again. (two men)
