IntValues store a 32-bit signed integers as their values. Ssigned means that it can represent negative numbers. 32-bit means that that's how many bits are used to represent the number (there are eight bits in a byte). If you add 1 to the maximum value of an IntValue, which is 2,147,483,647, it will wrap around to the minimum value, which is -2,147,483,648. Being an integer, it does not allow us to represent fractions.
NumberValue objects store 64-bit doubles as their values. This means that they can represent much bigger numbers than IntValues, and that they can be used to represent fractions.
If you need to represent a fraction or a very large number, use a NumberValue. But if you don't, just an IntValue is fine.

That question you marked and voted on as a duplicate has a really bad answer.
