Note: The word hundred, as well as thousand, million, etc.,
often takes a plural form. We may say hundreds, or many
hundreds, meaning individual objects or units, but with
an ordinal numeral adjective in constructions like five
hundreds, or eight hundreds, it is usually intended to
consider each hundred as a separate aggregate; as, ten
hundreds are one thousand.
[1913 Webster]
