A couple recently submitted questions relate to the same topic:
(1) Extra hazard, grid pipe layout of approximately 1,800 sprinklers. What is the criteria that drives the specific number of sprinklers that will be operating together? (2) What's the best way to determine the design area and number of sprinklers within a calculation for a parking garage? Posted anonymously for discussion.

If you're in an NFPA 13 system, NFPA 13 Chapter 23 annex can help with determining the remote area shape once you have your remote area size from the code itself. Some criteria that is not design/area driven will stipulate a specific number of sprinklers in a calculation.

Once you have your design density/area of application, you take the number of sprinkler to cover this area.

Regarding your question for parking structures, you can have a look to NFPA 88A Standard for parking structure.
