There's no such thing as an aperture number.

Aperture is numbered in f/stops. eg. f/2.8, f/5.6, f/11, f/16

The lower the f/stop the bigger the physical aperture is. And vice-versa.

Here's a guide:

Thats not true. META DATA has "Apeture" which is different from F tops. as both are listed. They appear to have an inverse relation.

In future you might want to say you never heard of it rather than gaslighing.
