digital
'digital' and 'numerisch' both have to do with numbers, but they look at different things. 'digital' means that information exists in a form that computers can process. 'numerisch' means that something is given as a number or consists of numbers. A customer number is numeric if it consists only of numbers. A form is digital if you fill it out on a computer. Learners may confuse the words because digital data often contains numbers. In practice: 'numerisch' fits with numerical values and numbers; 'digital' fits with files, computers, and electronic processing.
