Did you even try to google for this? It's best explained by a thorough article, not a forum post.

The simple answer:
the number equals the number of lines of resolution. the "i" indicates interlaced (meaning that there are two fields to each frame. the "p" indicates progressive scan, (the entire frame appears at once).
