Mahmood Abu Maryam, Trying to make sense of it all... Answered 3 years ago

The use of the colon ":" character is simply a presentation style to make it easy to differentiate between the chapter's sequential number in the Qur'an and the specific verse within it. So when speaking it you can simply say, for instance, 'five, sixty-seven' when referring to 5:67.
