The farther the number is to the right on the line, the higher (greater) the number is. For example, on the number line below, with negative numbers to the left of the 0:
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Since the 3 is further to the right than the -7, 3 is greater than -7.
Another example:
Since the -2 is further to the right than the -9, then the -2 is greater than -9.

What is the sign for a never-ending number?
"never-ending number" is ambiguous. You could either mean an infinite number, or an irrational number. For infinite numbers, you could use the Hebrew letter Aleph - which is used to represent the cardinal numbers of infinite sets of finite numbers. For irrational numbers, as far as I know there is no commonly accepted symbol to represent them.
