This depends directly upon the mass of the star, and to a smaller extent, composition.
Let's use the Sun, for example
It masses 1.989e+30 kg, or 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg.
About 90% of the Sun's mass is protons (in the form of Hydrogen.). There is some Helium, Oxygen and other elements in the Sun, but on average, these only make up about 20% of the Sun's mass and they are just under 50% protons.
Assuming 90% protons, the Sun then contains 1.79e+30 kg of protons. Weight of protons = 1 gram per mole (a mole = 6.02e+23),
So, the sun has about 1.0775e+57 protons.
In longhand, that's
1,077,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
This number is pronounced 1.0775 Octodecillion. I didn't make this name up - see

What else can I help you with?
When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?
When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.
Are the protons and electrons fused together in a neutron star and if the fuse are you left with neutrons?
In a neutron star, protons and electrons are indeed fused together through the extreme pressure. This process transforms some protons into neutrons through inverse beta decay, producing a core made mostly of neutrons with a small fraction of protons and electrons.
How many protons does beryllium?
Beryllium has 4 protons
What is a star that has collapsed to the point where electrons and protons are smashed together?
Neutron Stars are stars that have collapsed to the point where electrons and protons are smashed together.
How many protons does strontium have?
You can tell how many protons an element has from its atomic number. So the atomic number of Strontium is 38..so it has 38 protons.
What happens to the protons in the atomic nuclei and the degenerate electrons that were inside the star that creates a neutron star?
The protons and electrons fuse to form neutrons.
