100 (number)

IN MATHEMATICS

One hundred is the square of 10 (in Scientific Notation it is written as

10^2

). The standard SI Prefix for a hundred is " Hecto -".

It is the sum of the first nine Prime Numbers , as well as the sum of two prime numbers (47 + 53), and the sum of the cubes of the first four integers. Also, 2⁶ + 6² = 100, thus 100 is a Leyland Number .

But perhaps this number is most important as the basis of percentages (literally "per hundred"), with 100% being a full amount.

One hundred is also an 18- Gonal Number . It is divisible by the number of primes below it, 25 in this case. But it can not be expressed as the difference between any integer and the total of Coprime s below it, making it a Noncototient .

100 is a Harshad Number in base 10, and also in base 4, and in that base it is a Self-descriptive Number .
