Information
has glosseng: Today in English, a hundred is always taken to be equal to 100. However, before the 18th century, it could mean other values, depending on the objects being counted. Sometimes the value of 100 was referred to as a small hundred and the larger value of 120 was referred to as a long hundred or great hundred. This larger value originated with the Teutonic tribes that invaded England after the Romans departed.
