The basic measurement prefixes (by powers of ten, starting with -3) are as follow:

milli - 10^-3

centi - 10^-2

deci - 10^-1

meter/gram/etc. - 10^0 (1)

deca - 10^1

hecto - 10^2

kilo - 10^3

Thus, a hectometer is one tenth of a kilometer, and so there are ten hectometers in every kilometer. 10 km therefore equals 100 hectometers.
