It varies, cell to cell, species to species, age to age. In round numbers, the doubling time for a bacterium like E. coli is a half hour, whereas the doubling time for a eukaryotic cell is probably more on the order of several hours. However, you really can't generalize too much here because cells tend to undergo more mitosis during development than they do in adults and some species undergo far more rapid mitosis than others. For example, mouse embryonic stem cells divide much faster than human embryonic stem cells.

Mitosis, during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.

It depends on the cell. Some cells can separate 100 times in a second while others only separate 10 times.

For a typical cell, about 20-25 hours. However, cancerous cells can complete the process in about 18 hours, and some bacteria run through it in only 20 minutes.

It takes around 10 hours for any kind of cell to fully undergo mitosis.
