Formally and in writing, use a plural verb for numbers over one. In casual speech, and especially in the construction "there's" (contracted from "there is" ) the singular often sounds better. A fellow was driving on the Interstate when he took a cell phone call from his wife, warning him that someone was driving the wrong way on the Highway near him. "One?!" he said, "Jeez, there's dozens of 'em!"

If you mean "are number 10" or "is number 10" it depends on the number of the subject: he is, they are, john is, john and Jane are, Microsoft is (or, in Britain, Microsoft are).
