100 (hundred or one hundred) is a positive integer following 99 and preceding 101.[1] It is significant as the smallest three-digit number in base 10, since it is 102. It is an even composite number. It is equal to the square root of 10000.

The term came from Old English hundred,[2] from Proto-Germanic hunda- (meaning "one hundred") and rath (meaning "number"). Before the 18th century, the word "hundred" had varied meanings, one of which was 120.
