Nombre (masc.) means 'number'. A number can be composed of one or several chiffres (digits). Most often chiffre and nombre are used interchangeably in French, which makes it difficult to spot the theoritical difference.

Chiffre is also used more commonly with statistics where the number is an exact and pointed indicator. Nombre is more common and used more often in regards to counting and simple numbers.
