In the Frankfurt theme, beamer package, by default in the bottom right corner is shown the page number. How can I change this so that it not only shows the page number, but also the total number of pages (e.g. 5/30)?

You can redefine set the footline beamer template in a way similar to the original definition in the file beamerouterthemeinfolines.sty, but suppressing / \inserttotalframenumber:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\useoutertheme{infolines}
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
\leavevmode%
\hbox{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
\usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor~~\beamer@ifempty{\insertshortinstitute}{}{(\insertshortinstitute)}
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
\usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
\insertframenumber\hspace*{2ex}
\end{beamercolorbox}}%
\vskip0pt%
}

The Dreden theme uses as outer theme miniframes specifying that the footline is of type authorinstitutetitle
\useoutertheme[footline=authorinstitutetitle]{miniframes}
Thus, to insert the frame number (command \insertframenumber) with respect to the total frame number (command \inserttotalframenumber) we should take into account how the authorinstitutetitle is defined:
\def\beamer@theme@footline@authorinstitutetitle{
\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{miniframes theme}
{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{upper separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{author in head/foot}%
\leavevmode{\usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{institute in head/foot}\usebeamercolor[fg]{institute in head/foot}\insertshortinstitute}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{lower separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
}
}
Now, in the lower right corner there's nothing thus it is possible to exploit the space in:
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
by adding:
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{frame number}\usebeamercolor[fg]{frame number}\insertframenumber~\frameofframes~\inserttotalframenumber}
Notice that as separator between the frame numbers there's a command: \frameofframes. It is defined as:
\newcommand{\frameofframes}{/}
\newcommand{\setframeofframes}[1]{\renewcommand{\frameofframes}{#1}}
This allows you to modify the standard representation (1/5 for example), with something else; for instance:
\setframeofframes{of}
will provide 1 of 5.
The code:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\author{My name}
\title{My presentation}
\institute{My institute}
\newcommand{\frameofframes}{/}
\newcommand{\setframeofframes}[1]{\renewcommand{\frameofframes}{#1}}
\setframeofframes{of}
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{upper separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{author in head/foot}%
\leavevmode{\usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{institute in head/foot}\usebeamercolor[fg]{institute in head/foot}\insertshortinstitute}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{frame number}\usebeamercolor[fg]{frame number}\insertframenumber~\frameofframes~\inserttotalframenumber}
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{lower separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}

With package:
\usepackage{lastpage}you can have the number of the last page with
\pageref{LastPage}.
