Your directory [F] created on 03 Jul [E] is of the group "pip"
[C] and user 543 [B] (spaces in usernames normally reduced to
the rightmost string) with permissions of 775 [A]. Do NOT make
usernames with spaces, and preferentially use alphabets only.

That "number" is the UID.

First create your group using groupadd. See man pages for details
Syntax is: groupadd [-g gid] group. "gid" is a number. Check your
present etc/group for existing gids of groups ... This value must
be unique. Use the smallest ID value greater than 99 and greater
than every other group. Values between 0 and 99 are reserved for
system accounts.
Next create users under that group using useradd. Many distros
have frontend to this called "adduser". Ensure that you enter the
correct group when creating the new user.
