Answer

As a definition 수 is quantity/number/count/many; 양 is amount/volume/much; 분량 is divided amount; 수량 is combination of number and amount. For instance,
많은 사람 수 --- A large number of people
적은 물의 양 --- A small amount of water
오늘의 숙제 분량 --- A volume of today's designated(divided for today) homework
물건의 수량 --- A size(as a quantity and/or amount) of stuff
I wish your better understanding. Thanks.
