I'll assume that you mean "what is the frequency in cycles per second of a common microwave oven"?

Roughly, the number is about 2.45 giga-cycles per second, or giga-Hertz (GHz). That's 2450 million cycles per second. This is not on continuously. Burst of the frequency are used to cook food with gaps between them to allow the heat to propagate through the food.

Or is that "what is the frequency in cycles per second of the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called 'microwave'"?

"Microwaves" are defined as those with wavelength between 1 meter and 1 millimeter, or frequencies between 300 megahertz and 300 gigahertz. That's 300 million to 300,000 million (or 300 billion) cycles per second.

So the operating frequency of a microwave oven lies within the range of "microwaves".
