local exampleTable = {
    numbers = {1234, 4321}; --example numbers.
} 
--yes, this table format is crucial to my goal.^^

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    for i,v in pairs(exampleTable) do
        for _, id in pairs(v) do
            if id == player.UserId then
                --here. how do i get the name of the table the userid is found in, then convert it to a string?
            end
        end
    end
end)

Any help is appreciated, ask all necessary questions.

On a dictionary, index is the name of the current variable. You can just set a StringValue’s value to it. Also, instead of looping I would use table.find() to check if the id exists on the array.

local exampleTable = {
	numbers = {1234, 4321};
} 

local StringValue -- path

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	for tablename, v in pairs(exampleTable) do
		if table.find(v, player.UserId) then
			print(tablename) -- numbers
			StringValue.Value = tablename
		end
	end
end)
