Camera Lenses

I suppose this could go under the Tilted Photography, but this is more of a knowledge question since I'm not posting anything pretty.

When you buy a camera with lenses that can be switched out, what do the numbers mean? I've read through some 'technical' website on it, but it just leaves me a bit dumbfounded.

What exactly is the different between a 18-70mm f lens and a 55-200mm f lens?
