Adenine pairs with thymine and Guanine pairs with cytosine. The numbers are not exactly the same because of the mutations that happen in DNA. Some of the DNA could be broken off or put somewhere else in the gene that would throw everything off, nothing is perfect. However in a perfect world, both adenine and thymine would have the same numbers.
