Does yr question means how many wholesome friends you can find , those that help us on the way to be a good person ?
If yes, then there are no Buddha teachings that talks about this issue. Nor is there a teaching that tells us how many wholesome friends you will find.
From what I know and experienced in my life, if you kneel in front of The Buddha's statue in a temple and made a heartfelt and sincere wish of wanting to have a wholesome friend to guide you , there would be a chain of events appearing in your life , leading you to a wholesome individual , who can help you on the way to be a good person.
You can also make the same sincere wish to an open sky and you would received responses .
It sounds magical, but it is true. It happened in my life.
Of course, you would really have to be sincere when you make that wish.
Hoped it helps.

not many.
there's only 1 lord in this world that's jesus christ.
in the bible in states in the 10 commandments:
thou shalt have no other god's b/4 me. thou shalt not worship any idols, nor graven images.
if you love god, jesus christ, the one & only lord, he'll teach us to be a good person, he'll bring good, godly friends into our lives.

Budda did not concider himself a god or lord of anything so your question is off to start with.
