Prosecutors try to avoid hung juries by being sure they have a strong case before taking it to trial.
In the US, the court will try to resolve a hung jury with an Allen charge. If the jury comes back reporting that they are hung, the court will instruct the jury with the Allen charge, and direct them to continue deliberating and try again to reach a consensus.

How many sets of juries have to come to a hung decision before a case is thrown out?
It doesn't work that way. If the jury is truly hung, a mistrial will be declared. After the mistrial, the parties decide whether to have a new trial with a new jury. In the event that the second jury is hung, another mistrial would be declared, and the parties can choose to have another trial. This goes on and on until the parties settle, voluntarily opt to dismiss, or a trial results in a verdict.
