A #6-32 would have 32 threads per inch.
a screw with closely spread threads
24 threads per inch
The average screw has only one thread which winds from top to bottom
A screw is a fastener that is similar to a nail, but it has threads.
The threads are what make it work. As you will know if you have tried to use a screw with stripped threads, it is useless. That is because a screw is a simple machine built from an even simpler machine: the inclined plane. The threads are an inclined plane wound around the outside of the screw, and are what change the twisting motion into a lifting motion.
§ Screw threads have better compression strength than other threads. § Due to low thread angle there is no radial pressure on nut. § Due to smaller angle, the lead of screw is less.

The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
As I recall , 3 full threads is minimum engagement length
It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?
