I have a early 2009 iMac with MacOS El Capitan version 10.11.6 which is the last OS it supports. I’m running Numbers version 3.6.2(2577) on it. But whenever I try to open a numbers file created on my MacBook / iPad which have later versions of Numbers, the iMac says “you need a newer version of Numbers to open this file”. Numbers is not included as part of Sierra, we both know that. The OP said he was on El Capitan and said he couldn't download the latest version of Numbers. It is unclear whether the OP has a MacBook Pro or MacBook, he mentions both in his post. If he has a MacBook late 2009 he could upgrade to Sierra and then purchase Numbers.

Make a backup

It takes time to download and install OS X, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.
