There probably would have been something like that number; the total number is generally taken as between 2 and 3 million (!) men, women, and children.
The Bible does not reveal the total number, but there were 600,000 men:-
Exo 12:37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
(For census purposes, only men of military age were counted: women and children were not included. The women and younger children were possibly riding on wagons, while the older children walked with their fathers and older brothers.)
Playing with figures:
1. Suppose all the men in the army were married, each family had 3 young children:-
Men 600,000
Their wives 600,000
3 Children /family 1,800,000
TOTAL 3,000,000
2. Suppose a quarter of the men in the army were married with 5 children, with 3 of the sons with their father in the army:-
Men - married 150,000
Wives 150,000
Men - sons 450,000
2 children/family not in army 300,000
TOTAL 1,050,000
The minimum number fleeing Egypt would have been 1 million, making an average of these two somewhat-unrealistic scenarios of 2 million people. Add another couple of hundred thousand for men too old to be in the army, widows, unmarried women, and Egyptians, and there would easily be 2.5 million fleeing Egypt.

What was God's Providence in bringing Jacobs family to Egypt?
1) Egypt was the "iron furnace" (Deuteronomy 4:20) in which the dross was separated from the gold. As in every case of persecution, the people were tested and the loyal ones stood out (including for example the tribe of Levi, who never assimilated in Egypt). 2) Egypt was the regional breadbasket during the famine. Their sojourn there allowed the Israelites to survive and to thrive. 3) In Egypt, the Israelites grew from a handful of individuals to a nation of two million strong. God chose for this to happen not in ideal circumstances but in the context of persecution, to teach that His blessing (Genesis 46:3) cannot be second-guessed and will come true no matter how hard His enemies try to thwart it.

Is it true that 80 percent of Jews were left in Egypt in the first exodus?
According to the Bible, 600,000 fighting men left Egypt in the Exodus. Scholars say that, including priests, women, the elderly and children, this would have been equivalent to around two and a half million people. So, if this represented only 20 per cent of the total Israelites, then there must have been at least 12.5 million Israelites at the time - an impossible figure, since archaeologists say that the total population of Egypt was only around three and a half million people. In fact, more than 90 per cent of scholars are reported as saying that the Exodus did not really occur as described in the Bible. So, ththe statement that 80 per cent of Jews were left in Egypt is not true.
