    "numara" is mostly used to describe things like telephone numbers, numbers in line, etc.

    "sayı" is what is used in math and is like a digit.

        I think there is a problem about pronouciation of sayı. I hear it as 'sahil

          Yes, there is a problem about that. It is not natural and correct.

              Sounds like sayi not sayı.

                Couldn't it be "bu sayı hangi", or "hangi bu sayı"?

                I translated it as "which is this number", but wasn't accepted (correct: which ONE is this number).

                I translated it the same way as you. After thinking about it, I believe you have to leave together 'hangi sayı' for 'which number' and the 'bu' you may put in front of or behind it.

                So it could be (not for sure):
                Bu hangi sayı ? or
                Hangi sayı bu ?

                  'Which is this number' should also be correct

                  Numara is also used to mean a trick.
