A corps is two or more divisions. Frequently in the armies of both sides in WWI a corps had three divisions, but it could have more, There is no set number, just however many divisions seems best to the army commander. (A field army is two or more corps). So the answer depends on the size of the divisions fielded by the country of whose army the corps is a part. British, French and German divisions were around 12-15,000 men at full strength. US divisions of WWI were huge, more than 26,000 men. So, a US corps with only two divisions was bigger than any other nation's corps with three.

Depends. The U.S. Army has divisions of 10,000 to 30,000. Other countries have divisions of less than 5,000.
See Wikipedia's "List of US Army Divisions in WW2" for the answer to this question. === === == I count 70 InfantryDivisions(including Paratrooper Infantry and Mountain infantry). In addtion there were 6 Cavalry Divisions. Also there were Tank Divisions but I'm not sure how many---at least 14. Also, General Patton was placed in command of a "ghost Army" to deceive the Germans on the invasion plans. There were about 8 "Ghost" divisions, both infantry and paratrooper which did not really exist but a patch insignia was designed for them.
