Based off Vanitygen:
The number of all BTC addresses starting with a prefix indicated is:
2^160 / (difficulty of that vanity address).
Then you need a software to compute the difficulty.
12c6 --> difficulty = 77178 --> number of all BTC addresses starting
12c6 --> 2^160 / 77178 =
18,936,764,846,600,105,188,054,689,584,030,203,162,247,435 that begins with 12c6

I think it will provide the information you might be looking for.

to understand more and by chance this checksum is calculated?
then you have to look into how this type of addresses are created (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_Bitcoin_addresses) and also the encoding used in them (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding). going in reverse won't answer your questions.
in short the checksum is calculated by taking the 21 bytes input (version + result of HASH160) and performing 2 times SHA256 on it then taking the first 4 bytes.
somewhere between 1 and 31^58 (31 because the longest bitcoin address in base58 can be 35 characters and you fixed the first 4 characters).
if you also fix the checksum which is i believe a little less than 5 characters then the number shrinks by a lot but still can be more than just one since it is a 4 byte collision with only a couple of initial bytes of the data set.
any particular reason you are asking this?
