At least six

this is because photosynthesis uses Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight, to produce glucose. A glucose molecule is made of 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 12 hydrogen atoms. Since carbon dioxide is the only molecule in photosynthesis containing carbon atoms, and it only contains one per molecule, you would need a minimum of six molecules of it combined with six molecules of water in order to produce glucose. (with an extra 12 oxygen atoms)
