RSA private key is a set of big numbers: n,d,e,p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp. (this is not one number). When this numbers are saved to file there must be some method to distinguish this numbers. For RSA keys ASN.1 coding is used. For more information you may read PKCS#1 standard, in appendix A you will find ASN.1 structure of private key.
