How many grams of carbohydrates per day do you need to lose weight or do you not think that matters?

It's not the amount or proportion of carbs that matter; it's the total calories consumed.
Since it takes 3,500 calories to gain or lose a pound, if you take in 500 fewer calories per day than you burn up (through exercise and just being alive) you will lose about a pound per week.
At 4 calories per gram of carbohydrate, that means cutting out the equivalent of 125 grams of carbs per day.
But here's a helpful tip: at 9 calories per gram, fat contains more than double that amount. So its probably easier to lose weight by reducing fats than by reducing carbs.

How many grams of carbohydrates are in a carbohydrate?
A carbohydrate is mass, and "gram" is a unit to measure the weight of mass. So any given mass of carbohydrate will have a weight measurable in grams. For instance, 1 cup of corn weighs 166 grams. Of that weight, 123 grams are carbohydrates. I think your real question may have been, "How many calories in a gram of carbohydrate?" This is a little tricky because indigestible fiber is considered to be carbohydrate but being indigestible has no calories. Non-fiber carbohydrates are considered to have 4 calories per gram. So in the example of the corn, there are 12 grams of fiber. This leaves 111 grams of carbs times 4 calories = 444 calories from carbohydrates. There are 16 grams of protein in the 166 gram quantity and protein is also counted @4 calories per gram, so 4x16= 64 calories from protein. Fat is considered to have 9 calories per gram and the cup of corn contains 8 grams of fat, so 8x9=72 calories from fat.

If a calorie serving is 180 grams and 28 grams of carbohydrates what is the calories from carbohydrates?
I depends on how much of the 28 grams are fibers. every non-fibre gram = 4 calories soluble fibres amount to somewhat less than 4 calories, but I don't think there is a standard way of calculating it (I think about 1-2 calories per gram is in the ballpark though) non-soluble fibres have no calories.
