Leopard rosettes have fewer dark spots than Jaguar rosettes which have an additional dark spot in the middle.
There is no one number. Every jaguar has different spot patterns with different numbers.
No, leopards have different patterns and a jaguar has no pattern. Jaguars are stockier built, and the rosettes on the flanks have spots in them. Leopards and Jaguars are totally different species of cats, generally under the family of "Panther". Panther family includes the Tigers, Lions, Jaguars, and Leopards, or the "big cats". "small cats" are under the "Feline" family (these are not the scientific names, but the regular common names of the family) Leopards usually are sleaker and narrower of the face, and the spot patterns around their heads/shoulders are non-enclosed spots. Jaguars are heavier blunter faces, and their patterns around the head/shoulders are usually enclosed circles.
In both cases, the spots serve the function of breaking up the silouette of the animal so that it is harder to spot in its forest habitat. The differences in spots are essentially a random byproduct of their evolutionary history. Tigers, unlike leopards and jaguars, have stripes, which serve the same purpose. These markings blend in with the way sunlight looks as it falls through a leafy canopy.
Usually just called spots, but around side and back of body are black spots that form a circular formation around a central spot called rosettes.

Each leopard has a distinguishing spot pattern for easy identification of individuals.
a jaguar "rosette" is the type of spot a jaguar has, as opposed to a cheetah's spot which is just a dot.
Jaguars are generally spotted with similar color to that of a leopard. The clusters of dark spots, called rosettes, have and additional dark/black spot that differentiates them from leopards. There is also a dark color phase, an animal that is essentially black with a darker black spotting pattern visible within the black coat.

Both are heavily built, stocky cats. The tiger is much larger, and has a striped coat, while the jaguar has spots or in some cases, a black coat. Both love the water, and are the only big cats that readily take to it.
The jaguar is found in the Americas and the leopard is found in Asia and Africa. The jaguar is slightly larger than the leopard and has larger spots. jaguars are also stronger than leopards.A jaguar has a dot in the center of each spot and a leopard does notThe leopard and the jaguar are both members of the genus Panthera. The other living members of this genus are the lion, tiger and snow leopard. The leopard may be the most closely related to the jaguar of the five species, but that is still a matter of dispute.Leopards are smaller and more lightly built than jaguars. The leopard's spots are smaller and more densely packed than are those of a jaguar.Although both are descended from Old World cats, the modern jaguar lives only in America and the modern leopard lives only in the Old World (Eurasia and Africa).Jaguar vs. LeopardThe leopard is found across Africa, Asia, and the Amur region of Russia. Jaguars are found in all of south and central america, and in recent years, north to the U. S. border with Mexico in Texas, as well. The jaguar has a shorter, more stocky build than the leopard. Also, the jaguar tends to have larger rosettes with spots in the middle; the leopard has plain rosettes with no central spot in the middle. In addition, jaguars have a much broader forehead and wider jaw because they kill their prey differently than leopards. Unlike other big cats, jaguars kill prey by crushing the spinal column and must have a much stronger bite in order to do so. This means that the shape of their skull is unique among the cat species. As a result, they have the strongest bite-force of any member of the cat family--even stronger than lions and tigers.The jaguar weighs twice as much on average than a leopard.Leopard is African and an animal of scrub and open grassland dotted with trees. Jaguar is American, an animal of dense scrub and forest and is larger and more massively built than a leopard.The jaguar is larger And more brighter And the Leopard is darker And smaller And some are born Black But Nobody Knows abouut leopardsJaguars are more robost and more heavily built, more muscle.
No Snow leopards are notoriously shy and hard to spot.
