Tens of thousands.

In those days, everything was based on clan and family. As late as the time of Nehemiah (1500 years after Abraham), families were recorded as having thousands of members, since ties were remembered for a good number of generations.

Abraham taught belief in One God wherever he went; this is what his "calling out in the name of the Lord" means (Genesis ch.12). He taught in Ur, in Haran, and throughout Canaan; and gradually, many people joined him for further study, until they numbered in the tens of thousands (Maimonides, Laws against idolatry, ch.1-2). Because society was family-based, and in order to assure themselves some formal place or status in Abraham's entourage, most of these followers declared themselves his servants and lent a hand in his works.
