Hundert is a cardinal number used for counting and quantifying. It is indeclinable when used alone (e.g., hundert Euro), but when preceded by an article or determiner (e.g., die hundert Euro), it can be declined like an adjective. In compound numbers like 101, it is written as einhundert or hundert (both are correct). Historically, it derives from Old High German 'hundert', related to English 'hundred'.
