i have made a macro that reformat a word that example apple to be .apple(apple) and i have saved that macro to be remapped with the <leader>z combination as follows
nnoremap <leader>z 0yiwI.<esc>a(<esc>hpA),<esc>j0 the problem is when i type a number followed by <leader>z expecting the command to be repeated by the number i have given, it instead moves 10 lines downward i.e. it excutes the part only how do i fix that behaviour where i enter the number of repetitions of the command i want and it excutes correctly
Note: I have the leader key remapped to space

For what it's worth, those are *mappings* not "remappings". – romainl Mar 28 '21 at 16:00

Store your macro in a register, say register z, and execute it 10 times with `10@z`. – romainl Mar 28 '21 at 16:04

I use the macro everyday and i thought it would be a nice addition to have a way to store it as to not do it again everytime i use VIM – Ramy Osama Mar 29 '21 at 08:00

If you want to keep using that macro over and over again, the most effortless way is to assign it to a register in your vimrc:
let @z = "0yiwI.\<esc>a(\<esc>hpA),\<esc>j0"
and use it like this:
@z
10@z
