I believe that minimum number would be three.
3 to be sure

A minimum of three seismic stations must compare results to locate an earthquakes epicenter.
Three seismograph stations are needed to determine the location of an epicenter because each seismograph can determine distance to the epicenter but not direction. The point where the three circles intersect is the epicenter of the earthquake. +++ Focus - not epicentre, which is the point of maximum movement on the surface above the slip itself.

Measurements from at least three different seismometer stations are required to locate an earthquakes epicentre. For more information see the related question.
They need three stations to accurately tell where the location of something is. By measuring the time where it hit one station to the next, they can determine its location through a process called triangulation.
The minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquake's epicenter is THREE.

you need to have 3 seismic stations to triangulate the location of the earthquake and remember a earthquake can be from the inside of the earth but not necessarily at the epicenter because no epicenter is a straight line down.

yes it can
It takes 3 stations.
