data = {{1, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, x + x^2 + x^4}, {2,
1 + x + x^2 + x^4}, {4, x + x^2}, {4, 1 + x + x^2}, {4,
x + x^4}, {4, 1 + x + x^4}, {4, x^2 + x^4}, {4,
1 + x^2 + x^4}, {4, x^3 + x^4}, {4, 1 + x^3 + x^4}, {4,
x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4}, {4, 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4}, {5,
x + x^3}, {5, 1 + x + x^3}, {5, x^2 + x^3}, {5,
1 + x^2 + x^3}, {5, x + x^3 + x^4}, {5, 1 + x + x^3 + x^4}, {5,
x^2 + x^3 + x^4}, {5, 1 + x^2 + x^3 + x^4}, {8, x}, {8, x^2}, {8,
x^3}, {8, x^4}, {8, 1 + x}, {8, 1 + x^2}, {8, 1 + x^3}, {8,
x + x^2 + x^3}, {8, 1 + x + x^2 + x^3}, {8, 1 + x^4}};
fe = First /@ data
{1,1,2,2,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8}
{#, Count[fe, #]} & /@ Union[fe]
{{1, 2}, {2, 2}, {4, 10}, {5, 8}, {8, 10}}
Alternatively,
{#[[1]], Length[#]} & /@ Split[Sort[fe]]
{{1, 2}, {2, 2}, {4, 10}, {5, 8}, {8, 10}}
The Sort used above is not needed if the first element of your data is always sorted (as in your example).
