At one time, all the numbers were used from 1-15 (Montauk was alone in Zone 15, IIRC). If you buy a ticket on board the train and look at the system map on the back, you can still see where the lines between all 15 zones were, because the stations are spaced a bit further apart at the zone breaks.

There was also Zone 1A and Zone 1B. Stations on the Flatbush line were all in Zone 1B, while the stations west of Jamaica going to Penn (as well as Elmhurst and Shea Stadium) were all in Zone 1A. Travel to Zone 1B was less expensive than travel to Zone 1A.
