The runway numbers are in magnetic direction. Runway 27 is 270 degrees magnetic (rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees). Runway 04 is 040 degrees magnetic. When you are making your approach, your runway of intended use (into the wind) will be your magnetic direction on your compass. When you see an L, C, or R after the number there would be two or more runways in the same direction on that airport. The letters stand for Left, Center, or Right depending on which runway you would be assigned to land on. As runways can be approached from either direction the difference between the two number will reflect the 180° difference, thus increments of 18.

What is a runway number?
A runway number is a designation used to identify a specific runway at an airport. It is typically a two or three-digit number that corresponds to the runway's magnetic azimuth (compass heading) rounded to the nearest ten degrees. For example, a runway aligned with a heading of 270 degrees would be designated as Runway 27. These numbers help pilots and air traffic controllers communicate clearly about which runway is in use.
