This depends directly upon the mass of the star, and to a smaller extent, composition.
Let's use the Sun, for example
It masses 1.989e+30 kg, or 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.
About 90% of the Sun's mass is protons (in the form of Hydrogen.). There is some Helium, Oxygen and other elements in the Sun, but on average, these only make up about 20% of the Sun's mass and they are just under 50% protons.
Assuming 90% protons, the Sun then contains 1.79e+30 kg of protons. Weight of protons = 1 gram per mole (a mole = 6.02e+23),
So, the sun has about 1.0775e+57 protons.
In longhand, that's
1,077,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
This number is pronounced 1.0775 Octodecillion. I didn't make this name up - see

When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?
When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.
What is a star that has collapsed to the point where electrons and protons are smashed together?
Neutron Stars are stars that have collapsed to the point where electrons and protons are smashed together.
When electrons combine with protons what type of star results?
When you combine an electron with a proton you make a neutron. Therefore you make a "neutron" star.
