At least 3 total. One to be a stay at home parent, one to do my day job, and one to do my side hustle. Possibly another to just learn things.

So long as I also get the skills, and experience from the copy, I'd want a single copy that goes to college for me.
Hundreds. Thousands. Probably not more than a few hundred million
If we could sync memories, I could do everything at once. I could do anything each day. I could learn everything, I could do everything. My sense of self is flexible enough to see my clones as me... In fact I've had existential breakdowns over only having the one body. We'd be a single person from day one, hell my morality is based on "if the world was made up of only copies of me, would it be a better place".
I'd start with a dozen, then scale up as I get more jobs (I could handle 12x my food bill for a while, I mostly eat beans and rice already). I'd rotate between jobs and time the memory syncs to give myself work-life balance.
So my answer is basically "how many can I get?"
We're all copies of each other and memory sync isn't that far away. But it comes with ads.

In double digits at the very least. I need to work more and we'd peer pressure each other into working.
I'd like helping hands in a few of my hobbies and we'd build bigger things made to scale if there were a lot of us.

Assuming the clone is in the same physical and mental condition I'm in? None. I wouldn't knowingly inflict the pain I'm in on to any creature, and they wouldn't be of much use to me anyway if they're just in bed with me all day.
Assuming the clone is "fresh" and pain free? I still don't know that I would, having just someone else's memories of a fabulous vacation is worse than not going at all, and I'm not sure creating memories of cleaning and cooking and admin is worth having a clone doing it all.
For those reasons, I'm out. lol
E: Actually, scrap that, inspired by MxRemy and StellarTabi's replies - create all the clones if they're in pain, wheel them where they need to be, wrap them up with explosives and send a whole load to the door of each and every billionaire alive today so their assets can be seized in a coordinated attack. I'll take those memories, if it means we can be free.
For anyone reading this: check out the game Soma and the series Westworld if you find this topic interesting.
