English term or phrase: # of times
should it be # de veces or num. de veces?
I was told that the # symbol doesn't exist in Spanish.
I have looked everywhere for this, but I just can't find the answer.
Thanks for your help!

agree  Maria Cordon: Estoy de acuerdo con "numero de veces" Usar "número" es válido, número también significa cantidad indeterminada. Por otra parte "cantidad de veces", también es correcto depende de cual término usan en la región a donde va dirigida la traducción.
