LT seems to have all of the info on Common Knowledge that I seek except for the number of pages for the book. Is there another place where this information exists on the site?

CK can't have the number of pages, because CK is work information, and can vary from edition to edition.
Check your record, or the record of someone who owns the book. Some sources include it, and it might be in publishing information if the pagination field is empty. (If you don't see a pagination field you may have turned physical dimensions off.)
If that doesn't work, try following the WorldCat link from the work page.

As MarthaJeanne says a book varies in page count due to typeface, size of print and how generous the margins are which differs from edition to edition.
Take The Left Hand Of Darkness for example
The original Ace Books edition was 286 pages. One of the later Ace Books editions is 330 pages. The Panther UK paperback is 205 pages, the later Gollancz SF Masterworks (hardcover) is 248 plus there are many other editions with varying sizes.
As you can see these aren't small differences.
