You need compression, spark and fuel. The misfire cylinder is missing one of those. Do a compression test to see if the valves and rings are okay, all cyinders should be within 10% of each other. Pull the spark plug out of the suspected cylinder, if the plug is wet it probably does not have spark. If the plug is dry it probably is not getting fuel (port injected engine).

How many cylinders of jet engines?

None. Jet engines don't have cylinders. While Jet engines don't have cylinders they have combustors (which can also be called combustion chambers). Due to turbulence and other problems early jet engines had multiple small combustors, most modern jet engines have only one large combustor as it is simpler to build. some jets have combustion 'cans' which are cylinders but have no moving parts within
