Question

do numbers actually exist?

Answer 1

Nothing exists naturally! That is no thingexists without an abstract distinction designed to bring the thing as a thing into existence.

This applies to real things that obviously exist naturally without human intervention like the rock! That is the rock is just some swirl of quantum fields indistinguishable from the rest of the universe until something creates the distinction “rock”.

More importantly, in regard to this question, it applies to any abstract thing like a number, or a colour, or existence.

There is no “two” out there! Nor is there anything “blue”. Nor does any “thing” “exist”.

But don’t let Existential nihilism run amok. It all becomes practical, useful, and even meaningful in communication. That's where “things”, especially abstract things like numbers, really exist.
