The Significance of The Numbers outside of Lost

23 & 42 are two 'random numbers' used by hacker tradition
23 is one of the sacred numbers of Eris, Goddess of Discord
23 is refered to often in Robert Anton Wilson's The Illuminatus Trilogy; it is most often used as an example of a number that pops up in patterns and seems to have meaning, but only because one is looking for it to appear.
42 is the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
In Kabbalism, 42 is the number of characters in the unspeakable name of God
There are 108 stitches on a baseball
4, 8, and 16 are all powers of two: 2^2, 2^3, 2^4; the same digits as in 23 & 42.

Dr Candle(?) says the hatch crew is to be there for 540 days=108*5
