Definition: The number "1" is the numerical symbol for the letter A.

Numbers which replace letters often indicate the gang name and geographic areas the gang claims as their territory. It can also be used as part of a street number or area codes. It is not unique to any specific gang, but is found most often used with street gangs rather than prison gangs.
