How many simple and compound time signatures are there?

Theres all these: Simple time signatures: 4/1 = 4 semibreves in a bar (16 crotchets) = quadruple time 3/1 = 3 semibreves in a bar (12 crotchets) = triple time 2/1 = 2 semibreves in a bar (8 crotchets) = double time 4/2 = 4 minims in a bar (8 crotchets) = quadruple time 3/2 = 3 minims in a bar (6 crotchets) = triple time 2/2 = 2 minims in a bar (4 crotchets) = double time 4/4 = 4 crotchets in a bar (4 crotchets) = quadruple time 3/4 = 3 crotchets in a bar (3 crotchets) = triple time 2/4 = 2 crotchets in a bar (2 crotchets) = double time 4/8 = 4 quavers in a bar (2 crotchets) = quadruple time 3/8 = 3 quavers in a bar (1.5 crotchets) = triple time 2/8 = 2 quavers in a bar (1 crotchet) = double time 4/16 = 4 semiquavers in a bar (1 crotchet) = quadruple time 3/16 = 3 semiquavers in a bar (0.75 crotchets) = triple time 2/16 = 2 semiquavers in a bar (0.5 crotchets) = double time 4/32 = 4 demisemiquavers in a bar (0.5 crotchets) = quadruple time 3/32 = 3 demisemiquavers in a bar (0.375 crotchets or 3/8 of a crotchet) = triple time 2/32 = 2 demisemiquavers in a bar (0.25 crotchets) = double time Compound Time signatures: 12/1 = 4 dotted breves in a bar (48 crotchets) = quadruple time 9/1 = 3 dotted breves in a bar (36 crotchets) = triple time 6/1 = 2 dotted breves in a bar (24 crotchets) = double time 12/2 = 4 dotted semibreves in a bar (24 crotchets) = quadruple time 9/2 = 3 dotted semibreves in a bar (18 crotchets) = triple time 6/2 = 2 dotted semibreves in bar (12 crotchets) = double time 12/4 = 4 dotted minims in a bar (12 crotchets) = quadruple time 9/4 = 3 dotted minims in a bar (9 crotchets) = triple time 6/4 = 2 dotted minims in a bar (6 crotchets) = double time 12/8 = 4 dotted crotchets in a bar (6 crotchets) = quadruple time 9/8 = 3 dotted crochets in a bar (4.5 crotchets) = triple time 6/8 = 2 dotted crochets in a bar (3 crotchets) = double time 12/16 = 4 dotted quavers in a bar (3 crotchets) = quadruple time 9/16 = 3 dotted quavers in a bar (2.25 crotchets) = triple time 6/16 = 2 dotted quavers in a bar (1.5 crotchets) = double time 12/32 = 4 dotted semiquavers in a bar (1.5 crotchets) = quadruple time 9/32 = 3 dotted semiquavers in a bar (1.125 crotchets or 1 and 1/8 of a crotchet) = triple time 6/32 = 2 dotted semiquavers in a bar (0.75 crotchets) = double time But remember that these are not all the time signatures ever invented. There are also irregular time signatures.
