The number of possible enantiomer is dependent on the chiral centers (asymmetric carbons). If there are n number of chiral centers, then 2n chiral isomers are possible.
So, one chiral center would give 21=2 chiral isomers
2 chiral center will give 22=4 chiral isomers and
3 chiral centers will give 23=8 chiral isomers
