So we are going to answer this question with our own knowledge.
The types of galaxies by their ability to form new stars, from most to least activity are "Elliptical, Spiral, Irregular."
That is the way astronomers classify galaxies in scientific terms. These scientists consider that the smallest galaxies or dwarf galaxies have approximately 100 million stars. On the other hand, giant galaxies have billions or trillions of stars. That immense is our universe.
Scientists still studying the universe and the galaxies to understand the way galaxies are formed.
