How would I find out...
How many decedents did Abraham have on the day of his death?

That's impossible to determine exactly, particularly related to grandsons. Which grandsons were born before or after death cannot be determined, except for Isaac. Both Esau and Jacob were born before Abraham died, but the others cannot be determined.
Gen. 25 is the chapter to read.

grandsons
I should have included granddaughters also. There is Mahalath daughter of Ishmael mentioned in Gen. 28.9.
thanks!
You can't - at best you can only imagine that you can. The Biblical genealogies list (almost) only males of the line. Descendents include females.
