There is more than one way of numbering the hadiths in this collection. Every hadith has it's own number (from 1 to 7495 <ref>http://al-islamic.net/hadith/bukhari</ref>, 7563<ref>https://sunnah.com/bukhari/97</ref> or 7658 <ref>http://al-islamic.net/hadith/bukhari/98</ref>), but the collection was also divided into volumes and books. There are either 93<ref>https://www.sahih-bukhari.com/Pages/Bukhari_2_20.php</ref>, 97 <ref>https://sunnah.com/bukhari</ref> or 98 <ref>http://al-islamic.net/hadith/bukhari</ref> books and there are 9 volumes (in the 93 books version). So for example, if someone tells you about a hadith in the book 98, you might find out your collection has only 93 books and the hadith is actually in the book 93 in your collection. Also what is in one version considered as two separate hadiths might be in other collection considered to be one big hadith. So we can't tell how many hadiths are there.

In the 93 books (USC-MSA) version, the hadith numbering is not from the first hadith of the whole collection, but from the first hadith of the first book of the volume. The hadith identificator looks like 9:84:53, that is volume:book:hadith. It is the first hadith of this book (84), and it has the number 53, because volume 9 started with the book 83 and the book 83 has 52 hadiths. The same hadith could be described as 88:1, because it is the first hadith in the 97 books version. It could be also described with one number 6918, as it is the 6918th hadith from the beginning of the whole Sahih Bukhari collection. And it could be also described with the number 7004, because in the 98 books version, which counts hadiths differently (some hadiths are joined and considered to be one hadith).
