1) 4 soldiers, John 19:23
2) They were fulfilling the prophecy given in Psalm 22: 18
JOhn 19: 23-25; The cloak was also seamless.
3)The seamless garment of Christ represents the perfect righteousness of Christ.
When we are justified by faith, God clothes us with the righteousness of Jesus.
Is. 61:10, Romans 5:1
It speaks of a unity which Christ represents which is indestructible, a oneness in Him which cannot be divided. It means, in one broad, glorious word of affirmation, that in Christ victorious all the damage by the fall has been put away, and God has secured His thought. There is no rent here. That has all been removed. The old garment of Adam has been destroyed, and God has brought in His new seamless garment, and established it in the place where it can never again be rent. Satan cannot get at Him. Sin cannot get at Him. All these have tried themselves out to the limit upon that garment, and by sovereign power He has triumphed. By the glory of the Eternal Spirit in Him He has overcome. The oneness of Christ by the Eternal Spirit has been preserved, and it is there in a related position, related to you and to me. Turning it round the other way it means that through faith in Christ and by receiving the Holy Spirit, we are related to Him and all His perfect
In closing let us be reminded that the seamless robe is not in process of being woven. It is already an actuality. The unity of Christ is not something to be achieved. It stands complete now. Whatever may be the immature state of the believer or the Church as seen here, the fact that in Christ we are complete is not affected. A responsibility rests upon us to glorify Him by living according to the heavenly fact. We must recognize that all in Christ are one, for There is one Body, and one Spirit... one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father.... We must put on the seamless robe, and not contradict in conduct the high and holy garment which we wear. Putting away all strife, anger, malice, etc. We have not to make the garment; it is made. Ours it is to be suited to it.

The soldiers wanted Jesus' cloak to hand down to their progeny and eventually sell on ebay.

1) I haven't seen where it says the number of soldiers, but I would guess 4 or 5
2) It was purple according to Mark (Purple being the color of royalty), and the way it was made

It was not specified. But I think it was three.
Because it was not torn
It had not seams the way it was made. High quality fit for a King.

4
it was woven and without seam
it couldn't be divided, but the temple curtain was (which separated the Holy of Holies) so men then had access to God.
