To further elaborate on what Joe said. I will start with AWG 4 and work up to larger wire as I think the person asking the question does not have his complete answer.

Wire Sizes: AWG 4; AWG 2; AWG 1; AWG 0; AWG 00; AWG 000; AWG 0000 get to be larger diameter as they numbers get smaller which is what Joe said.

AWG 00 is referred to as 2/0 (it is 00 gauge wire, 1 conductor);
AWG 000 is referred to as 3/0 (it is 000 gauge wire, 1 conductor)and
AWG 0000 is referred to as 4/0(it is 0000 gauge wire, 1 conductor).

Hope this clarifies.
