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.

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.
