How much is a 100 fold?

Answer 1

As a Wiccan, I understand the concept of "100 fold" more than most. It is not the multiplication of a number times 100, as most assume it is. However, it is doubling whatever number 100 times. Imagine your number is a piece of paper. You fold it in half one time. Fold it again a second time. If your number is one, then two fold would be 4. Or, more simply, 2 to the 100th power. So, to answer your question, 100 fold is...

1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376

Which to say is a really, really, really big number. LOL

*********** The above answer is NOT true. Merriam-Webster and other dictionaries cite tenfold or hundredfold as 10 units or 10x something (or 100 units or 100x some other number).--jhh

Answer 2

A 100-fold increase means something has grown or multiplied 100 times its original amount. For example, if you start with $1 and it grows 100-fold, you would have $100.
