hundred thousand

Ten times ten-thousand

Hundred thousand is the number 100,000—one hundred times one thousand, or ten times ten thousand.

It marks a threshold where quantities become harder to visualize concretely: A hundred thousand people filled the stadium.

Often used as a round-number approximation: It'll cost you a hundred thousand dollars.
