 1. Belonging to number; denoting number; consisting in numbers; expressed by numbers, and not letters; as, numerical characters; a numerical equation; a numerical statement.

 2. The same in number; hence, identically the same; identical; as, the same numerical body. [Obs.]
    Would to God that all my fellow brethren, which with me bemoan the loss of their books, . . . might rejoice for the recovery thereof, though not the same numerical volumes.   --Fuller.
 Numerical equation Alg., an equation which has all the quantities except the unknown expressed in numbers; -- distinguished from literal equation.
