Usage notes
editUnlike cardinal numerals up to ninety-nine, the word hundred is a noun like dozen and needs a determiner or other modifier to function as a numeral.
- a hundred women / one hundred women / the hundred women
- compare a dozen women / one dozen women / the dozen women
- compare ten women / the ten women
Hundred can be used also in plurals. It doesn't take -s when preceded by a determiner.
- two hundred women / some hundred women
- hundreds of women
In telling military time, "hundred" is typically only used for exact hours, e.g. 09:00 is "oh nine hundred" and 21:00 is "twenty-one hundred", while 03:30 is "oh three thirty". Sometimes, nonstandardly (e.g. in fiction by authors not entirely familiar with military time-telling), 03:30 may be read as "oh three hundred thirty".
