The dictation features on your iPhone and on your Mac work the same, regardless of the application you are using.
To answer your specific question, to get a number in digital form, preface what you are dictating with the word "numeral."
For example, "We went on vacation in 'numeral' 2016."
Another example, "We drove for 'numeral' 25 miles."
Here are some additional resources for using dictation on your iPhone and on your Mac:
