Numbered Company: The company number is used as the name of the company. This would be a random generated number after registration is done. (e.g., 1265168 Nunavut LTD.). A numbered company does not need name a approval and hence, can be registered faster than a named company.

Because a corporation a legal entity by itself and separate from its owners, therefore, it could owned only through its shares. The corporation's assets and stocks are split into pieces and each of these pieces is called share.

Most people issue share at $1 price in the beginning.

Yes, you can do so. For the simplicity of incorporation, commonly $1 is set as the initial share price. Eventually, the share price and share numbers could be changed.

Class A common voting share owners have voting rights to change the corporation's policies and rules. Class B common non-voting share owners do not have such rights.

Most People put 1 as Shares, but can be any Number. Share cannot be fraction. If you are the only shareholder then you own 100% of the Shares.

Total share is calculated by adding up each shareholder's share number. Example: your share is 60, your spouse's share is 40. Then total shares = 60 + 40 = 100. In this case, you hold 60% and spouse holds 40%. If more than one shareholder and you want to assign in percentage, make total share number as 100.
