in order to find the n of the equation of DeltaG = -nFE, would I have to separate the equation into half redox reactions to see how many electrons there are? Or is there a shorter way to determine it, thank you!

A shorter way of determining how many mols of electrons are being transferred would be to just look at the oxidizing or reducing agent in the equation and determine how many mols of electrons it is losing or gaining. Assuming the equation is balanced, that would be the n in your equation. Hope this helps.

To find n (which are the moles of electrons in a balanced redox reaction) just look at the redox reaction and determine how many electrons are involved. It might be easier to see how many e- are involved by finding the half redox reactions.
