quick question, i am substituting IRFP460 MOSFETS for this inverter circuit:

https://electroschematics.com/220/12v-dc-220v-ac-converter/

could someone please show me how to calculate the ideal gate resistor for this application? i know that the gates are voltage driven, so do i even need resistors? please show me how you calculate so i can learn. One other thing, i know i can put MOSFETS in parallel to increase the current handling. Does this affect the value of the gate drive resistor? thank you!!

datasheet is here:
