Other than 100, all exact hundreds have the plural ‘cents’. If not an exact hundred, the plural ‘s’ disappears.
e.g.
|
222 |
deux cent vingt-deux |
For the numbers 100 and 1000, the indefinite singular article ‘un’ is not used, unlike in English (a/one hundred, a/one thousand). This is not true, however, for ‘un million’ and ‘un milliard’.
e.g.
|
1 999 |
mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf |
|
1 261 000 000 |
un milliard deux cent soixante-et-un millions |
For multiples of 1000, no plural ‘s’ is added.
e.g.
|
10 000 |
dix mille |
