Typically, 22 pairs or 44 chromosomes in humans.
The number doesn't change between males and females whose only difference are the other 2 of the 46 total chromosomes, the aptly named sex chromosomes.
So really the factor that decides how many autosomal chromosomes the organism has is what kind of organism it is (human? dog? cat? orangutan? moon jellyfish??)
Chromosomes that aren't sex chromosomes are called autosomes. There are 44 autosomes in a normal human somatic cell and 22 in normal human gametes. The only chromosomes that affect the sex of an organism is the X and/or Y chromosome. XX = Female and XY = Male.
This human cell would be a male cell because it contains one Y chromosome. The 22 autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that come in pairs (one from each parent), totaling 44 autosomes in total. The Y chromosome determines male sex traits and is inherited from the father.
A human body cell typically has 46 chromosomes in total, arranged as 23 pairs. This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, either XX (female) or XY (male).
In a normal diploid cell, there are 24 *different* chromosomes out the total of 46: there are 22 pairs of identical autosomes and 2 non-identical sex chromosomes.
The 23rd pair of chromosomes that differ in males and females is called the sex chromosomes. In females, the 23rd pair consists of two X chromosomes (XX), while in males, it consists of one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
44
Chromosomes (autosomes), not including the sex chromosomes (XY - male, or XX - female).
The first 22 pairs of chromosomes in a karyotype are called autosomes. These chromosomes are numbered from 1 to 22, with each pair containing one chromosome inherited from each parent. They determine an individual's genetic characteristics and traits, excluding sex-linked traits.

In a human cell we should have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. We get 23 of these chromosomes from the male gamete (sperm) and the other 23 from the female gamete (egg).
The male and female each contribute 23 chromosomes, one of which determines the sex of the baby/new human
There are 22 pairs of autosomes in a human somatic cell.
XY - all males are XY while all females are XX.
