Help with CV2 pytesseract detcet numbers

[korenron]

hello ,
I want to run a code that detect numbers
I took very simple test case ,
use windows paint to write "12 345 67" in black , font 100 and save it as a L1.jpg file
this is the code I wrote

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87

this is my output :

1 2 3 4

you license plate is  123456  you license plate 1 is  12345

2 things I need hep with
1. why I don't get the same resualt in both cases ?
2. why I don't get the all numbers?

Thanks,
