Four, also, in July, 1826. Adams, Jefferson, Madison & Monroe. John Q. Adams was President. Adams and Jefferson died on the same day, July 4, 1826. But five were alive from January 21, 1989 till the day Nixon died on April 22, 1994.. Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Carter & George H. W. Bush. Clinton was President. When Clinton left office on January 21, 2001, he joined Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush I to make five living ex's again.
Note - When Lyndon Johnson died in 1972, there where no former Presidents alive, the first time that that had happened since the death of Washington.

he greatest number of presidents having lived concurrently is six. There were three periods when this has happened. The first was between March 4, 1861 and January 18, 1862, when Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Abraham Lincoln were all living. The second was between January 20, 1993 and April 22, 1994, when Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all living. The third was between January 20, 2001 and June 4, 2004 when Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were all living.

The greatest number of presidents all alive at the same time was 6 when Bill Clinton became president, while Nixon was still alive. Clinton sworn in in 1993 and Nixon passed in 1994.
Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (father) and Clinton.

Five. This occurred twice. During Lincoln's service in 1861 and '62 there was Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, Buchanan and Pierce.
During GW Bush's service from 2001 until '05 there was Ford, Carter, Reagan, GH Bush and Clinton.

An interesting question which others have already answered. But here is some interesting presidential trivia. Our 15th president, James Buchanan's life spanned at least 1 year of our first 29 presidents. He was born in 1791 and died in 1868.
