Organisms that reproduce asexually do not share a limiting factor in the production of offspring. The limit will generally depend on the lifespan of the organism, the mode of reproduction and the resources available.

As an example: a paramecium will reproduce by fission. That will produce two new organisms. Do you say that the parent produced two offspring but, was lost in the process? ...or do you arbitrarily call one the parent and the other the offspring? ...does it really matter? After you puzzle through that, each will have divided again--

1->2->4->8->16->32->64->...

Until they use up all food, they will likely continue the sequence with no numerical limit.
