According to the equation $E = n \cdot h \cdot ν$ $E = n * h * nu$ (energy = number of photons times Planck's constant times the frequency), if you divide the energy by Planck's constant, you should get photons per second.

$\frac{E}{h} = n \cdot ν$ $E/h = n * nu$ $\to$ $->$ the term $n \cdot ν$ $n * nu$ should have units of photons/second.
