Best Answer

Numerals are symbols which are used to write numbers; for example, the Arabic numerals which we use in most situations are simply the ten digits, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9. Numbers are many different quantities which can be symbolized by using numerals, such as 657,899.034 or five and a half, or the square root of 2, etc.
