The indefinite article is generally not used with numbers, but sometimes it is. Here is an example:
The gymnast had one of the highest scores of the Olympics with a 7.600 on floor exercise.
Why is 'a' used there before the score?

I think that's because 7.600 isn't intended as an amount of something. If it had been "7.600 points" you shouldn't have used the article.
