The reason there are different ways to say ７ and 4 is because there are different (commonly used) ways of reading the kanji for them.

七　（７）　Can be read as　”なな”（Japanese reading)　Or　"シチ”　（Chinese reading).　Same with 4：　”よん”　And　”シ”.
Chinese reading is used for like... months:　(シチ月)
If you're just counting, you would prob use the Japanese reading.　Japanese reading for counting money too.
