Abstract: The renowned proverb, Numbers do not lie, underscores the reliability and insight that lie beneath numbers, a concept of undisputed importance, especially in economics and finance etc. Despite the prosperity of Benford's Law in the first digit analysis, its scope fails to remain comprehensiveness when it comes to deciphering the laws of number. This paper delves into number laws by taking the financial statements of China real estate as a representative, quantitatively study not only the first digit, but also depict the other two dimensions of numbers: frequency and length. The research outcomes transcend mere reservations about data manipulation and open the door to discussions surrounding number diversity and the delineation of the usage insights. This study wields both economic significance and the capacity to foster a deeper comprehension of numerical phenomena.
