Is this a complete sentence?

"I know how many." This seems like slang to me and I am not sure if I can use this correctly or not.

Also, in questions like "How many apples are there?" the words 'how many' don't ask you to explain a object or a thing like a 'what question' would, rather it is expresses a need to understand if there are many apples or no apples, information talking about the quantity correct?

Just confused is all. Thanks in advanced for the help

" This seems like slang to me and I am not sure if I can use this correctly or not. It's not slang. It's just the kind of short and rather terse remark that is typical of spoken English.
