    In arithmetic, a hundredth is a single part of something that has been divided equally into a hundred parts. For example, a hundredth of 675 is 6.75. In this manner it is used with the prefix "centi" such as in centimeter. A hundredth is the reciprocal of 100. A hundredth is written as a decimal fraction as 0.01, and as a vulgar fraction as 1/100. “Hundredth” is also the ordinal number that follows “ninety-ninth” and precedes “hundred and first.” It is written as 100th.
