How many divisions does the Celsius scale have?

There are 100 intervals (degrees) between the freezing and boiling points of water on the Celsius (centigrade) scale. These "degrees" are therefore 1.8 times as large an interval as the "degree" defined on the Fahrenheit scale.

Are celsius and Fahrenheit degrees the same size?

No. Celsius "degrees" are larger than Fahrenheit "degrees", and so represent a larger change in temperature. One Celsius "degree" is equal to 1.8 Fahrenheit "degrees". The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions (degrees) between 32° and 212° - the freezing and boiling points of water. The Celsius scale has only 100 divisions (degrees) between 0° and 100° - the freezing and boiling points of water. So the Celsius degrees are "larger" degrees, and a change in temperature in Celsius will be 1.8 times as large on the Fahrenheit scale. That is where the 5/9 and 9/5 fractions come in on the conversion formulas. (see related question)
