The general file sequence is 001, 002, 003, 004, etc. You will need all parts of the multi-volume archive to extract the content successfully.

Sometimes, the 001 file extension doesn't mean the first part of the multi-volume archive but the first part of a split file. You first have to merge divided files (001, 002, 003, etc.) into one file (usually split archive) via split tools. Afterward, you can use a compression utility to extract data from the merged file.

It can also be a big game data file from various computer games.
