One hundred is the square of 10 (in scientific notation it is written as 10s squared). The standard SI prefix for a hundred is "hecto-".
One hundred is the basis of percentages (literally "per hundred prime numbers, as well as the sum of four pairs of prime numbers (47 + 53, 17 + 83, 3 + 97, 41 + 59), and the sum of the cubes of the first four integers (100 = 13 + 23 + 33 + 43). Also, 26 + 62 = 100, thus 100 is a Leyland number.
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 coprimes below it, making it a noncototient. However, it can be expressed as a sum of some of its divisors, making it a semiperfect number.
100 is a Harshad number in base 10, and also in base 4, and in that base it is a self-descriptive number.

In the Mighty Ducks movies, Adam Banks wears the number 99.
In the National Hockey League, 99 has been the only number retired league-wide as of 1999, for Wayne Gretzky. The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings, the two teams for which he played the bulk of his NHL career, have separately retired the number in his honor.
99 is the NBA record for Most Free Throw Attempts in a 7-game series, set by Elgin Baylor of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1962. In the fictional film Major League, Charlie Sheen's character wore the Cleveland Indians #99 uniform.
Greg Moore's Champ Car car number 99 was retired after his fatal accident.
In cricket, it is considered unlucky if you reach 99 due to most batsmen getting out and not making the century.
Carlton full-forward Brendan Fevola ended the 2008 AFL season one goal short of the century, scoring 99 goals all season. In the same season, the Geelong Football Club recorded two 99-point victories, the first against Essendon in round two, and the second a win over the West Coast Eagles in round 22.
99 is the maximum jersey number a player can wear in the NFL.
Former Los Angeles Dodger and current Chicago White Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez wears the number 99, and is both the first Dodger and White Sox player ever to do so.
NASCAR driver Carl Edwards drives the #99 Ford Fusion.
George Mikan also wore number 99 when he played for the Minneapolis Lakers.
