If I recall, the #s on the runways roughly line up with the compass heading in which the runway is 'pointed.' You just need to add a 0 to the end of the runway number. For example runway 9 would be headed at 90 degrees or East. The same runway approached from the other direction would be 270, or 270 degrees; West.
