Word origin

份数 (fènshù, "number of portions or copies") combines 份 (fèn, "share or portion") with 数 (shù, "number"), so it names the count of such units.

Usage tips

  • For a multi-page document, the quantity refers to complete sets rather than individual pages, which prevents a common counting mistake in print requests.
