I tried looking online but have a hard time finding out exactly what the number on the gears of the car represent. What’s the difference between 1-3 or 2-5?

In manual transmission 1 represents low gear and larger number represents higher gears.

The slower the car is going, the lower the gear that should be used.

The number doesn’t mean anything other than representing the order from low to high. Every vehicle implements their gear ratios according the function of the vehicle, weight, carrying capacity, the engine size/output etc etc. There is no fixed formula attached to any gear number.
