Which [STRIKE]phrases[/STRIKE] phrase is the stronger of these two? [STRIKE]more strong than the other?[/STRIKE]

P1 : "The [STRIKE]no[/STRIKE] number of times [STRIKE]which[/STRIKE] this form [STRIKE]got[/STRIKE] has been/was reprinted [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] is ... [STRIKE]: i.e 1" [/STRIKE]
P2 : "The [STRIKE]no[/STRIKE] number of times which this form has been/was printed out [STRIKE]are[/STRIKE] is ..."

See above for amendments in red.

You need to use "is" not "are" because "The number of times" is singular.

It would be more natural, though, to say "This form has been/was printed xxx times".

Is there a reason you have simply copied the final nine words of my post?
