Technically there is a limit to the number of numbers if you think about it, or at least a limit that involves a repeating number in one way or another.

This is because there are only really 10 numbers 0-9, and therefore eventually, no matter what you do, there will be a repeating set of numbers. Each place would have 10 options you can have so initially that means you have 1,000,000,000 possible positions, each of those positions (except the first) can have 10 possible numbers (the first can only have 9).

To make it easy though (the number is larger but still shows there is a finite amount of patterns), if you have the first digit have 10 possible numbers as well (so include 0 in the first position even though that is false), you have 1billion^1billionth power. So 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 total possible combinations of numbers before you start repeating (one way or another).

Basically the total number of combinations you can have is limited, can be defined and can be expressed.
