My friend says there are over 133 million demons and I believe there are around 7.4 million and if I can find where it says that there were only 200 fallen angels then I think I can prove to her that her number is too high because the fallen angels weren't on the earth long enough to have that many children and they were put inside that pit and locked up before the flood. I just need to find where it says that.

You need to review the legends of the Jews.
Start with Ginsberg and Kabalah.

OK let me try and help as much as I can. In thee book of Revelation in the 12th chapter it talks about the war in Heaven between satan and the Archangel Michael. The Bible states that the dragon "satan" threw 1/3 of the stars of heaven to the Earth with his tail. The stars of Heaven that John is referring to is the angels. So 1/3 of the angels were cast out of Heaven at the time of lucifer's rebellion. As far as the total amount of angels in Heaven? The writer of the book of Hebrews in chapter 12 verse 22 says that the company of angles in Heaven is innumerable. The book of Job says the same thing in chapter 25 verse 3. No where in the Bible does it give an exact number of angels in Heaven.
Also the fallen angels were on the earth long enough to have allot of children. Take the account of the story of Noah. The bible says that he was perfect in his generations. This means that his family was the only family bloodline that was not intermingled with angelic blood. This is why God spared him and his family. Plus you must also look at the factor of the race of beings that were on this planet before Adam - this would be a sermon by itself. check out Jeremiah 4:22-28(this happened before Adam which was why the earth became without form and void)

I think you've been reading a little too much fictional Christian books like Dante's Inferno.
The bible only says that some of a total unknown number angels were cast from heaven to earth with Satan. Also, none of these fallen angels (or demons if you like) are now or have ever been in hell, they will be cast into the hellfires at the end of the world. On top of that, Job makes it clear that Satan can still go to heaven with God's allowance.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

It's not in the bible. Demons are fallen angels. 1/3 of heaven fell with Satan. Some are on the earth, some are in the atmosphere and some are chained in Hell.

It does not state a number of demons in scripture. As a matter of fact there is no mention of how many angels, either. Demons and Angels are spirits,,,they can't conceive. You need to make a study of this, because you have a lot of false information.

This is not true. Giants or Nephilim came from the joining of fallen angels and women.
Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
The word that is translated into "sons of God" is also used in Job when it talks about Satan and the angels coming before God. These obviously weren't human "sons of God"

That is from the Book of Enoch, which is one of the "apocryphal" books excluded from the bible by the Catholic hierarchy. It's considered heresy by the Church, but if you're interested in reading more about it, check out the works of Erik Von Daniken.(sp?) You might also try doing a search on "Annunaki."
