The origin of the division of counties into hundreds is described by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) as "exceedingly obscure".It may once have referred to an area of 100 hides; in early Anglo-Saxon England a hide was the amount of land farmed by and required to support a peasant family, but by the eleventh century in many areas it supported four families.

Buckinghamshire Hundreds in 1832. Until at least the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 there were 18 hundreds in Buckinghamshire. [11] It has been suggested however that neighbouring hundreds had already become more closely associated in the 11th century so that by the end of the 14th century the original or ancient hundreds had been consolidated into 8 larger hundreds.
In arithmetic, a hundredth is a single part of something that has been divided equally into a hundred parts. [1] 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 also one percent. A hundredth is the reciprocal of 100.
This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or 20 / 5 = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient. Unlike the other basic operations, when dividing natural numbers there is sometimes a remainder that will not go evenly into the dividend; for example, 10 / 3 leaves a remainder of 1, as 10 is not a multiple of 3.
The seventy weeks prophecy is internally dated to "the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, by birth a Mede" (Daniel 9:1), [34] later referred to in the Book of Daniel as "Darius the Mede" (e.g. Daniel 11:1); [35] however, no such ruler is known to history and the widespread consensus among critical scholars is that he is a literary fiction.

The Criterion Collection introduced audio commentary on the LaserDisc format, which was able to accommodate multiple audio tracks.The first commentary track, for the 1933 film King Kong, was recorded by Ronald Haver, a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and was inspired by the stories Haver told while supervising the film-to-video transfer process.

[1] [2] However, it is divisible by the total number of its divisors, making it a refactorable number. [3] The sum of Euler's totient function φ(x) over the first twenty integers is 128. [4] 128 can be expressed by a combination of its digits with mathematical operators, thus 128 = 2 8 − 1, making it a Friedman number in base 10. [5]
