You can take a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/storage-and-sql-server-capacity-planning-and-configuration and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/capacity-management-and-sizing-for-sharepoint-server-2013 (still valid for 2016/2019).

SharePoint sizing is largely a dark art -- it depends on how your users are using the farm, content set size, max concurrent users, etc. Many consultants will go with a known good baseline (i.e. 3x DC+FE, 3x App+Search) and right-size from there.

there is no strict rules how many servers should be used in farm based on number of users. Because overall number of users doesn't tell much - more important how many (in average) users will use it in parallel (how many parallel requests per second) there will be. In general farm with 1WFE + 1App server + 1Db server + 2DCs may serve online service with about 100K active users. If there are many users who is working in parallel - you may add more WFEs with load balancing. Also you may consider adding 2nd DB server as failover cluster.
