The "haploid number" is the number of chromosomes in a given organism's reproductive cell (i.e., either sperm or egg or similar, depending on the species) or it's the number of pairs of chromosomes in an organism. They are easier to count just before mitosis or during the interphase of meiosis. So put a cell under a microscope, make sure it is in the right phase of reproduction and count the little "X's".

To calculate diploid, you simply multiply the haploid number by two. For example, if the haploid number is 23, then the diploid number would be 46. The haploid number is the number of chromosomes in a gamete (sperm or egg), while the diploid number is the total number of chromosomes in a somatic cell.

To find the haploid number you divide the diploid number in half, and you get the answer for the haploid number.

EX: Diploid number: 78

78 divide by 2 equals 39

Haploid number: 39

Each gamete has a haploid set of chromosomes. In the case of humans, the haploid set is 23 chromosomes.

The diploid set comprises 46 chromosomes (the amount that is present when two gametes, one sperm and one ovum, combine).

Haploid is always half the number of the diploid.
