No, die natürlichen Zahlen are the 'natural numbers', i.e. the positive integers that can be used for counting: 1, 2, 3, etc.
'Nummer' is feminine, therefore 'eine' is the appropriate indefinite article. And remember to capitalize your nouns.
Eins is the number 1. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eins It is special as it is considered a cardinal number and is only used for counting or math.
