Eleven different appearances of our risen Lord are recorded in the New Testament…
To Mary Magdalene at the sepulchre alone. This is recorded at length only by John (20:11-18), and alluded to by Mark (16:9-11).
To certain women, "the other Mary," Salome, Joanna, and others, as they returned from the sepulchre. Matthew (28:1-10) alone gives an account of this. (Compare Mark 16:1-8, and Luke 24:1-11.)
To Simon Peter alone on the day of the resurrection. (See Luke 24:34; 1 Cor. 15:5.)
To the two disciples on the way to Emmaus on the day of the resurrection, recorded fully only by Luke (24:13-35. Compare Mark 16:12,13).
To the ten disciples (Thomas being absent) and others "with them," at Jerusalem on the evening of the resurrection day. One of the evangelists gives an account of this appearance, John (20:19-24).
To the disciples again (Thomas being present) at Jerusalem (Mark 16:14-18; Luke 24:33-40; John 20:26-28. See also 1 Cor. 15:5).
To the disciples when fishing at the Sea of Galilee. Of this appearance also John (21:1-23) alone gives an account.
To the eleven, and above 500 brethren at once, at an appointed place in Galilee (1 Cor. 15:6; compare Matt. 28:16-20).
To James, but under what circumstances we are not informed (1 Cor. 15:7).
To the apostles immediately before the ascension. They accompanied him from Jerusalem to Mount Olivet, and there they saw him ascend "till a cloud received him out of their sight" (Mark 16:19; Luke 24:50-52; Acts 1:4-10).
It is worthy of note that it is distinctly related that on most of these occasions our Lord afforded his disciples the amplest opportunity of testing the fact of his resurrection. He conversed with them face to face. They touched him (Matt. 28:9; Luke 24:39; John 20:27), and he ate bread with them (Luke 24:42,43; John 21:12,13).
In addition to the above, mention might be made of Christ's manifestation of himself to Paul at Damascus, who speaks of it as an appearance of the risen Savior (Acts 9:3-9, 17; 1 Cor. 15:8; 9:1).
It is implied in the words of Luke (Acts 1:3) that there may have been other appearances of which we have no record

Mark 16 only goes to verse 8. The other verses 9-20 were added by some manuscripts. But Mark's version omits them. Most true scholars know this. But you are not a scholar. (Matthew 28:8-10) 8 So, quickly leaving the memorial tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to report to his disciples. 9 And, look! Jesus met them and said: “Good day!” They approached and caught him by his feet and did obeisance to him. 10 Then Jesus said to them: “Have no fear! Go, report to my brothers, that they may go off into Gal′i·lee; and there they will see me.” As you can see, This verse says that the women quickly left the tomb and Jesus meets them but they were not by the tomb. (Luke 24:13-15) 13 But, look! on that very day two of them were journeying to a village about seven miles distant from Jerusalem [and] named Em·ma′us, 14 and they were conversing with each other over all these things that had come about. 15 Now as they were conversing and discussing, Jesus himself approached and began walking with them; These verses do not say he first appeared near Emmaus. Just that he did and he appeared to two other men who were not the Apostles. You must realize that these were written by different people with a different viewpoint. Just like someone today who witnesses an important event, each person will have a different viewpoint. Three people can see the same accident and have three different versions. The important thing is this, it does not matter which version you read, the information is there and the important thing is that Jesus had risen from the dead. Not the details. Each detail was correct according to what the person saw. When you read the Bible you will find no differences in the important teachings of Jesus. Jesus taught that his Father's name was important and must be hallowed or held in awe. (The Lord's prayer) Jesus also taught that God's Kingdom would rule over heaven that Jesus himself would be the king of that kingdom. Also in the Lord's prayer. So, with that in mind, just how important is the details of Jesus in the tomb to gaining eternal life?

S. Grant give you all and deserve the 10 points.
But keep in mind that jews used to count only the men, not all the people in a group. So when he appeared to the 500 there could be many more people as the women and children was probably not counted.
Same when Jesus made a miracle to feed a multitude of 5000; they were 5000 men, not counting children nor women.
