There are 49 states in the continental US, which includes the "lower 48" and Alaska, which are all part of the North American continent.

A separate designation is the contiguous US (joined together). This includes only the "lower 48" states, because Alaska is separated by British Columbia (Canada) and Hawaii by the Pacific Ocean.
