Number in the noun refers to singular ( for one) and plural ( for more than one). Many languages also have a dual form for nouns that occur in twos.
Gender in the noun refers to a system of formal classification that no longer exists in English. In languages that do still have it, grammatical gender is the form with which a noun's modifiers and in some cases even its verbs must always agree.
Indo-European languages have up to three grammatical genders, misleadingly called feminine, masculine and neuter. These have nothing to do with physical gender: a male person may be a feminine noun, like la personne in French; just as a female person may be a neuter noun, like das Mädschen in German; and a thing can be masculine like liber, feminine like fortuna or neuter like datum in Latin.
Among non-IE languages, in Arabic many masculine nouns become "feminine" in form in the plural; and counting in Japanese involves a set of formal categories amounting to half a dozen genders for the noun.
