The number of stars in a galaxy depends on its size.

The Milky Way Galaxy has between 200 and 400 billion stars. Dwarf galaxies may contain as few as 10 million stars, while the largest galaxies consist of more than a trillion. This is usually due to the merging of smaller galaxies into one big galaxy.

There are an estimated 100-300 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

A small galaxy can have up to 10 million stars and a giant galaxy can have up to one trillion stars.
billions and billions!
If the question is how many stars are in our Galaxy, the Milky Way. We are in a very typical galaxy when compared to the galaxies we can see. At this moment we are talking about 100 billion galaxies. So the estimate of stars for our galaxy has been as low as 100 billion stars to as high as 400 billion stars. But most articles claim 100 to 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Remember that these stars cannot be counted, and never will be counted in our lifetime. Everything in Astronomy is an estimate, simply because their are no efficient ways of determining these numbers with any significant accuracy, except to make an educated estimate from what we do know, or can see. I would frequently love to see an article or book make the same estimate for the same figure as I read a previous explanation for something requiring these figures. It is amazing in this day and age, but these are estimates that will stand for a long long time. As nothing on the horizon will make these estimates even more accurate.
they haven't been counted yet. astronemers say at least 500 billion stars.

This is going to sound like a smart-aleck , but it depends on the size.

Dwarf galaxies might be as small as ten million stars (collections smaller than that are usually called "clusters" instead) up to perhaps a trillion stars in the largest galaxies.

The Milky Way galaxy probably has somewhere between 200 billion and 400 billion stars (it's the second largest galaxy in the "local group" of galaxies; the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger).

There are an estimated 100 billion galaxies. Scientists estimate that our Galaxy (The Milky Way) contains 200 à 400 billion stars. So taking a conservative number of 100 billion stars per galaxy, gives an approximate total of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. (which is 10 sextillion)

Since the universe is infinite, the number is the same, infinite.

It's impossible to say. However, the Black Eye galaxy is a "normal" spiral galaxy, like our Milky Way Galaxy, so it should be safe to say it contains anywhere between 100 and 400 billion stars,

It is hard to say what is "typical", since galaxies vary quite a lot in size. Our galaxy has between 100 and 400 billion stars; some other galaxies are larger, but there are also lots of dwarf galaxies, some of which have only a few million stars. A typical spiral galaxy, like ours, has a few hundred billion stars.

It is estimated to be between 200 and 400 billion stars. It is currently difficult to get a more precise number, because it isn't know precisely how many red dwarves there are.

Smaller galaxies may have only a few billion. Larger galaxies may have 500 billion or more.

Galaxies are of different sizes. Some may have only a few million other, larger galaxies, may have hundreds of billions.

What are some stars in the m86 galaxy?

Such galaxies have billions of stars, but most named stars are in our own galaxy, for the simple reason that they are closer to us, that several of such close stars are visible with the naked eye, and even if they are not, they are studied in much more detail.

Are stars countable?

Yes and no, as there are a huge amount of starts. Only a few thousand stars can be seen by the naked eye. You can count those. Every star you see is in our galaxy and there are many more stars in our galaxy that you cannot, about 100 billion. Then there are billions of other galaxies. So we can estimate the amount of stars in the universe, but not count all of them.
