While few does not always mean exactly the same to everyone, generally a few is more than 2 (a couple) and a small number. A small number might mean 3 to some and another number to someone else. It might also depend on the number of total items that are being talked about. Out of a group of 50, 3 or 4 might be a few. In a group of 100,000, 100 might be considered a few. It might be prudent to note that in The Bible, at 1 Peter 3: 20 it states "...while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water." So we can say that a few are 8.
