in a human daughter cell there must be 46 chromosomes ,for in mitosis : 2n >> 2n ( daughter cell remains diploid)
meiosis I; 2n >> n (daughter cell is shrunk down to n, becoming haploid)

The same number you started with, assuming that it works correctly - it doesn't always. In humans, that would be 46 chromosomes. In fruit flies, by way of comparison, there will be 4 chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis, and each daughter cell will have 4 chromosomes at the end.

Mitosis is the process by which a cell separates its duplicated genome into two identical halves. It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm and cell membrane. This results in two identical daughter cells with a roughly equal distribution of organelles and other cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together is defined as the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle, the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, each the genetic equivalent of the parent cell
During mitosis the double chromosomes are split to produce 92 "single chromosomes", half of which go into each daughter cell.
Mitosis is the mechanism that allows the nuclei of cells to split and provide each daughter cell with a complete set of chromosomes during cellular division

46 or 23 pairs if mitosis has been done correctly.

Depends on the organism.
