What do the numbers stamped on a ring mean?

If it's a silver ring, it will have a number like ".925", which indicates it's true sterling silver. If it's some form of gold, it will have a carat number, such as 14k, which indicates what proportion of 24 is gold. 14k indicates the ring is 14/24 gold.

Why do you use alloys of gold instead of pure gold?

An alloy is a mixture of diffrent types of metal. Based on a gold ring for example, 24k is 99.95-,9999 pure gold. * 24k gold contains 99.95 % (or more) gold by weight * 22k gold contains 91.67% gold by weight * 18k gold contains 75.00% gold by weight * 14k gold contains 58.33% gold by weight (in US, commonly advertised jewelry is usually 14k Edit: An alloy is where other metals are added such as; Palladium, Copper, Aliminium and silver. This makes the metal stronger, and better for use in dentistry for example. It also makes it cheaper for the manufacturer to produce, as less gold is used. Different percentages/ratios of gold to other metals, determind what carat rating, the gold is given; explained above.

No. Gold (as in 24K pure gold) is an element. However, 14K gold is a mixture of gold, copper, nickel and tin. 14K means it is 14/24ths gold, and 10/24ths another metal. BTW, pure 24K gold is almost never used for jewelry- it is too soft, and will bend. Most good gold jewelry is 14K.
