Is it correct?

Hello. Is the following sentence correct?

Table 2 provides the number of respondents who think that Canada is the best country, the number of those who think that Japan is the best country, and the number of those who think that Germany is the best country.

And I was wondering whether I need to repeat "the number" or not.

Table 2 provides the number of respondents who think that Canada is the best country, of those who think that Japan is the best country, and of those who think that Germany is the best country. (?)

Thank you!
