How many Umras and Hajj were done by the Prophet (SAW)?
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performed a total of four Umrahs and one Hajj. The details of his Umrahs are well documented in various hadith collections. Sahih al-Bukhari narrates that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported, The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed four Umrahs: the Umrah of Hudaybiyyah in Dhu al-Qa'dah when the polytheists prevented him, and an Umrah the following year in Dhu al-Qa'dah when he made peace with them, and the Umrah of Al-Ja'ranah when he divided the spoils of war at Hunayn
Sahih al-Bukhari 26:5.
In addition, Al-Kafi mentions, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) performed three separate Umrahs: One in Dhu al-Qa'dah, known as the Umrah of Hudaybiyyah; one in Juhaifah, which is called the Umrah of Al-Qada; and one from the Ji'rana after returning from the Ta'if Expedition of the Battle of Hunayn
Al-Kafi 3:151.
Regarding his Hajj, it is noted in several hadiths that he performed one Hajj, which included one Umrah as part of that pilgrimage. Sunan al-Tirmidhi states, The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed three Hajj pilgrimages: two before migration and one after migration along with a 'Umrah
Sunan al-Tirmidhi 9:7.
Conclusively, the Prophet's pilgrimage activities included four Umrahs and one Hajj.

With us, Allah was worshipped, with us Allah was known, with us Allah was made One, and Muhammad is the veil of Allah, Blessed and Exalted. — OR — I said to him, "If a person dies while in a state of major impurity, how should he be washed and what suffices for washing him?"
