It in unclear whether you are asking how many sections and sub-camps Auschwitz had, or whether you want to know the total number of death camps. Auschwitz was a vast complex and had about 40 satellite camps, some of them over 80 miles from the main camp. * Auschwitz I was the original camp, built in 1940 for Polish dissidents and intellectuals. It was later used for a wide range of prisoners and was an extremely harsh forced labour camp, where most of the prisoners were worked to death. * Auschwitz II (Birkenau) was the section with the (main) gas chambers. It was primarily an extermination camp. Most new arrivals were gassed soon after arrival. Auschwitz II also housed a forced labour camp for women. For a time the women who worked there were allowed to keep their children. For about 12 months from November 1943 onwards Birkenau was a separate camp, but was then merged back into the Auschwitz network. * Auschwitz III (Monowitz) was a 'private entreprise camp', built and owned by I.-G. Farben and was a chemicals plant producing polymers. Though owned privately, the day-to-day supervision of the workforce was in the hands of the SS. For a list of all the Nazi extermination camps please see the related question below.

This included 197 Barracks, 2 Mess Halls, 2 Hospitals, 6 garages, 10 Storage facilities ( All purpose from Killing method to Food) and the 30 Blocks (This included famous Block 10 and Block 11). Other buildings were SS Houses, SS Entertainment areas and for other purposes such as Coal for the trains and tools for maintenance needs.

Auschwitz Birkenau was only 25% complete and their was plans of having 1000 buildings at Auschwitz, majority of this would of been Barracks and Gas Chambers.

There were around 300-400 barracks or so during the Holocaust at Auschwitz. A lot of these barracks contained a staggering number of 500-7000 inmates for each barrack. The barracks contained 3 layers of brick bunk beds where living conditions were very poor.
