can you find a lost android phone using only its number?

My mum lost her phone at the market. I know the number and her gmail but not her password. Is the number on its own enough to locate it?

Not by yourself, no. The number alone only helps the carrier, and they'll generally only act on a police request. What does work is Google's Find My Device (now called Find Hub): sign in with the Google account that's on the phone from any browser or another phone, and if the phone is on and online it shows on a map. Ignore apps or sites claiming to track any phone by number, they're scams.
