112 Elements ( 92 Natural and 20 Man-made ) .
By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered.
There are a total of 118 elements known to exist on the periodic table.
There are at least 112 elements reported and confirmed. Elements 113-115 have been reported, but have not been confirmed. Today 118 chemical elements have been named; 92 are naturally occurring
92 Today natural elements are considered the elements up to the atomic number 98; but the elements with atomic numbers 43, 61 and 93-98 exist only in extremely traces, as a curiosity in uranium deposits. Of course they can be obtained also by man made nuclear reactions. Consequently man made elements must be considered only the elements with the atomic number over 98: some examples are meitnerium, bohrium, flerovium.
Transuranic elements are known as synthetic elements because they are not found naturally on Earth and must be created in a laboratory through nuclear reactions. These elements have atomic numbers higher than uranium (92) and are generally unstable and radioactive. Scientists have been able to produce transuranic elements by bombarding heavy elements with particles to create new elements.

By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered.
At present there are more than 50 elements in the world. There are 92 natural and 115 total when we add the synthetic elements.
Out of the 112 elements known, 90 are found in nature and the rest (22 are man made).
The 40 elements refer to the 40 transition metal elements. There are in total 118 known elements to this day.
There's only 92 natural elements, but there are 28 man-made elements for a total of 120.
The 26 transuranic elements (elements with atomic numbers higher than 92) are man-made. Some lists also count technetium (element 43) as man-made as well. --------------- Now (January 2013) 97 chemical elements are considered as natural and 21 as man made.
There are currently 118 confirmed elements on the periodic table.
As of June 2017, a total of 118 elements are known.
As of now, there are 118 known elements on the periodic table. These elements range from hydrogen (element 1) to oganesson (element 118).
There are a total of 118 elements known to exist on the periodic table.
All predictable elements are currently known or highly unstable. There are about 92 naturally occurring elements; after those are a few that can be made in laboratory conditions but these are usually unstable and eventually decay into lead. This brings the total to about 115 known elements, give or take a few.
