使用する際の注意点

Unlike cardinal numerals up to ninety-nine, the word hundred is a noun like dozen and needs a determiner to function as a numeral.

• a hundred men / one hundred men / the hundred men
• compare a dozen men / one dozen men / the dozen men
• compare ten men / the ten men

Hundred can be used also in plurals. It doesn't take -s when preceded by a determiner.

• two hundred men / some hundred men
• hundreds of men

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".
