It had to be more than 5,000 that was the number of men in the crowd not counting the women and children.

It is possible that the women & children didn't participate in this miracle or just that they were not counted on purpose as part of the cultural practices.

I don't believe all men were married or had kids.
There must have been single women, widows with kids and whatever wives of some of the 5,000 men and their kids.
So I believe it had to be at least 15,000 and maybe even 90,000. No one knows.
