The actual number will never be known. The number of those immediately killed by the blasts is CONSERVATIVELY estimated somewhere between 175,000 to 225,000 people depending on the source of the numbers.
No matter what the initial death toll. more died over the ensuing months and years due to burns and radiation sickness caused by the blasts. Due to the flatter terrain of Hiroshima, the bomb blast there was much more devastating so about two thirds of those killed by atomic bombs in Japan were killed in the Hiroshima blast.
To keep things in context the estimated number of people who would be killed in a US/Allied invasion of the Japanese main island (Operation Downfall) was estimated at 10,000,000 soldiers and civilians. (400,000-800,000 American soldiers, 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians) and the war would have dragged out through into 1946. To say that the atomic bomb saved people's lives is controversial, but there is no doubt that the atomic bombs put an end to the pacific war in days rather than months or years.
