Each decade of the Rosary has 10 Hail Marys. Plus, there are three Hail Marys at the beginning of the rosary for Faith, Hope, and Charity. So if you were to pray the usual five decades, you would pray 53 Hail Marys. If you were to pray three Rosaries, you would pray 153 Hail Mary's. If you were to pray four rosaries, you would pray 203 Hail Mary's.
In one decade of the Rosary there are 10 beads; however, technically there are 11 beads as each decade of the Rosary begins with a larger bead upon which one announces the mystery and says an Our Father. Also, if we count the prayers of each decade there are 12 or 13 depending on one's particular practice.
Praying the RosaryV. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son,
by his life, Death, and Resurrection,
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,
grant, we beseech thee,
that while meditating on these mysteries
of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain
and obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
There are 153 Hail Mary's in a 15 decade Rosary, 53 in a 5 decade Rosary.
53 = lead in 3 + 10 per decade X 5 decades per rosary = 3 + 50 = 53

The Rosary typically consists of 20 decades, with a prayer for each bead on the rosary. Each decade includes the Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, and a Glory Be, usually taking about 1-2 pages to recite.
Praying the rosary is a necklace type thing with many beads on it. there are 5 decades. every decade symbolizes one of the mysteries. the rosary is meant to be prayed to Mary the mother of God.
A traditional rosary bracelet typically contains 10 beads, which are used for prayers such as the "Hail Mary" or the "Our Father." Each bead represents a different prayer or reflection in the Catholic faith.
A rosary may have stones, beads, or knots. Basically anything that you can use to keep track of your prayers and meditations. A decade is one Our Father, and ten Hail Mary's. The rosary that most people have in their pockets are actually just 1/4 of the entire rosary, so they have five decades for 55 beads. The little string on the end has a Crucifix, one Our Father bead, and 3 Hail Mary beads so the normal rosary would have 59 beads.
As far as personal prayers (prayers outside of the Breviary and the Mass), the Rosary is probably the most efficacious. The rosary itself, composed of Our Father's, Hail Mary's, Glory be's, etc. is NOT just mindless repetition. If you are just recited the prayers in a mindless fashion, you are not praying the rosary, and, for that matter, are not praying at all. The rosary is a set of twenty meditations, five for each "rosary". These meditations are centered on the life of Jesus. Two important points: to meditate is beginning prayer. There is much prayer beyond this, but meditation is how one begins. The second point is that meditation here spoken of, is Christian meditation. As you recite the prayers, you are thinking about the mystery proposed for that decade. For instance, the third mystery of the Joyful Mysteries is the Nativity. Obviously, you are thinking of Jesus' birth, how it came about, you picture the scene in your mind. But you also think about why He came to earth, why He is here, and how should it affect my life. In meditation, you consider all these things, ask God to help you and guide you, draw conclusions from them and ask God to help you live your life according to His Will. For instance, for every decade of my rosary, I usually start it off with something like, The Scourging at the Pillar: "Lord, help me to walk in Your footsteps, help me to know Your Father's Will and to do it; help me in this mystery to accept the pains in this life meekly and humbly without complaint or bragging, and to offer them up to Your Father, for His greater glory and honor, for the salvation of my brothers and sisters, and for my own salvation." Our Father...Now, if we have all of that down, revelations to many saints through the ages have made know to us God's will, and that is praying the Rosary is a great way to grow closer to God, a great sign of predestination, etc. There is no way that sin can remain in your life if you are praying the rosary each day. If you are sincerely praying and meditating all the mysteries of the rosary, you will grow closer to God, grace will fill your life, and sin will leave it.An excellent book, written by St. Louis de Montfort called The Secret of the Rosary lists many miracles and helps in this prayer. It is something that every Christian trying to lead a good life, conformed to God, should pray each and every day. Many saints refused to go to bed until they had finished their rosary. I find that a little beyond me, so I pray my rosary first thing when I get up in the morning.
i myself am catholic, and not everyone does the rosary everyday. but people do it as a prayer (it's made up of different prayers)..... i hope this helped??Another answer:As far as personal prayers (prayers outside of the Breviary and the Mass), the Rosary is probably the most efficacious.

Approximately 56 million people die globally each year, which amounts to about 560 million deaths per decade. However, this number can vary depending on factors such as population growth, advancements in healthcare, and global events.
The rosary predates St. Dominic by many years so he did not "invent" it. He did, however, encourage the praying of the rosary.

Saint Dominic did not invent the Rosary, but he is commonly credited with popularizing and promoting its use as a prayer tool. The Rosary is a form of prayer that has evolved over time, with its origins dating back to the early Middle Ages. Saint Dominic and his followers helped spread devotion to the Rosary in the 13th century.
The four mysteries are joyful mysteries, glorious mysteries, sorrowful mysteries and the luminous mysteries.
The rosary predates St. Dominic by many years so he did not "invent" it or receive it. He did, however, encourage the praying of the rosary.
