You have your number lock on.  On your keyboard somewhere, there is a key labelled NUM LOCK.  Press it once and your problem should be solved.  There's quite often a warning light somewhere on your computer to tell you it's on.
The number lock is used to turn part of your keyboard into a numeric keypad, to use it more easily as a calculator if you're doing lots of adding up.

http://support.gateway.com/s/issues/2-2617355951.shtml You need to hold down the blue key (next to "alt" on the right hand side bottom row) at the same time..

use the right side num pad, instead of repairing the keys,

Is yours a laptop because most laptops don't have a number lock and if it is a keyboard you should have two sets of numbers. One in a line on top and one like a phone pattern on the right side. If you only have the top row then there shouldn't be a number lock or scroll lock. The one that will be there is Cap Lock

Your keyboard has "extra" keys:
* print-screen / system-request
* scroll-lock
* pause / break
* num lock

Press that "num lock" key.
For a laptop keyboard, you may have to hold down the 'FN' key,
at the same time that you press "num lock", to enable/disable this function.

it looks to me like you have your number lock on.
