For different factors there are common sacred numbers for different peoples, such as the numbers three, five, seven, eight, nine, twelve, forty, three hundred among others. However, in Azerbaijan, special relevance has been acquired by the numbers three, seven and forty, so the objective of this research is to analyze its importance in folklore and cultural expression. For this, various popular tales are analyzed, highlighting the relevance of these numbers, their functions and possible interpretations. It was identified that the number three is associated with success, number seven with time and forty with the concept of many. The study of their possible meanings serves for a better interpretation of ancient texts because, as shown, their interpretation cannot always be literal.]]></p></abstract>
