N number of times means

Answer 1

Oh, dude, N number of times just means doing something N times. Like, if you're told to push a button N number of times, you just gotta push it that many times. It's like, not rocket science or anything, just a fancy way of saying "do it N times."

Answer 2

In the phrase "N (or n) number of times," n is simply a variable that represents the number of times that something is to be done. When the letter n specifically is used (as opposed to x or some other letter), it is most often referring to the number of values in a particular sample (n) or population (N). So if, for example, a data set contained 10 values, then the phrase "n number of times" would be referring to something being done to that data set 10 times.
