Where: z = 2.576 for a confidence level (α) of 99%, p = proportion (expressed as

a
decimal), N = population size, e = margin of error.
Formula for Determining Sample size
S= X2NP(1-P)/ D2(N-1)+X2P(1-P)
S= Required Sample size
X2= Table value for 1 Degree freedom at desired confidence level
N= The population size
P= The population proportion
D= the Degree of accuracy expressed as proportion

z = 2.576, p = 0.5, N = 53364, e = 0.05

n = [2.5762 * 0.5 * (1 - 0.5) / 0.052] / [1 + (2.5762 * 0.5 * (1 - 0.5) / (0.052 * 53364))]
n = 663.5776 / 1.0124 = 655.427
n ≈ 656
The sample size (with finite population correction) is equal to 656
