Oracle has the NUMBER data type and it's used like the INT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, or DECIMAL data types in MySQL. Instead of having a lot of different numeric types, like in MySQL, Oracle handles all numeric types in one data type. Depending on the value you are storing, you would use INT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, or DECIMAL in MySQL for the NUMBER data type in Oracle. There aren't unsigned versions of NUMBER in Oracle.
