In simple words in an atom there are differenent spherical layers (orbits) surrounding the nucleus in which electrons exist in diff. subshell named s,p,d,f. (The no. is the rank of that shell from nucleus) further in writing 1s,2s.... The no. 1,2,3... are to define theshell in which this "s" subshell lies
