Why is it masculine?

Numeri is masculine because it derives from Latin "numerus," which was a masculine noun of the second declension, and Italian inherited this gender classification when Romance languages evolved from Latin. The Latin word itself likely comes from an Indo-European root related to "distribution" or "allotment," and masculine gender was simply the grammatical category assigned to this particular Latin noun.
