51% of infinity is infinity. The only way to get anything else by doing addition, subtraction, multiplication or division on infinity is to multiply or divide by 0, which are undefined, otherwise you just get infinity.

Whether it’s the majority of numbers also depends on where you count from.

If you start at 0, it isn’t the majority, because there’s an equally infinite amount of negative numbers; I can always come up with a new negative number for every positive number you count to.

If you start at negative infinity, then you’re counting every number, so it would be the majority.
