The last time the total number of Presidents and Vice Presidents was the same was near the end of the 19th century, when McKinley was President and Hobart was Vice President. Then after Vice President Hobart died McKinley needed a new running mate. When he was reelected, Theodore Roosevelt was his new Vice President, and the number of V.P.'s then exceeded the number of Presidents by one.
The difference of one remained until Franklin Roosevelt was President. He changed Vice Presidents twice (he had a total of three). So at that point, when Roosevelt started his 4th term, the total of vice presidents was three more than the total of presidents.
The difference of three remained until Gerald Ford was appointed to replace Vice President Agnew, who resigned in 1973. The difference then became four, where it remains to this day (43 presidents and 47 vice presidents).

The reason that there have been four more U. S. Vice Presidents than there have been U. S. Presidents is due to the eleven Presidents who did not have just one Vice President. Four Presidents, Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson and Arthur, had no Vice President (a 4-VP shortage). Six Presidents, Madison, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, McKinley and Nixon, each had two Vice Presidents (a 6-VP surplus). One President, Franklin Roosevelt, had three Vice Presidents (a 2-VP surplus). Six extra plus two extra minus four short equals four extra.
