No, not really. The number refers to how many times the operation is
performed. So if you smooth mesh M0, you get a new mesh, M1:
M0 --> M1
To get a smoother version of M1, you can perform the same operation on M1 to
get M2:
M1 --> M2
each time you perform the operation, you get a smoother version of the mesh,
but you also get a new mesh (the intermediate meshes are discarded).
Here's a link that should explain it (lots of pictures, no math):
