It is not in Settings until you have installed it.


Tap the App Store icon then Search (bottom right of screen) & type in Numbers in the search bar & tap search. Numbers should be among the top results & will have one of three icons to the right of the app - OPEN, GET or a cloud with a downfacing arrow. The first means that Numbers is installed on your iPad as in my screenshot below. GET means you need to acquire it & the cloud means you have previously acquired it but it is not installed. Tap whichever one shows.
