The rim and inner wall of Numerov has undergone considerable erosion, and much of the eastern side is pock-marked by small craterlets. There is a small, very eroded crater attached to the exterior to the southeast, and 'Numerov Z' is nearly connected to the northern rim. The interior floor of Numerov is relatively level, but with a central peak formation at the mid-point and some low ridges just to the south. There are a few gouge-like grouves in the surface in the northeastern floor. The western half of the floor and inner walls have been partly overlaid by ejecta from Antoniadi.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Numerov crater.
