Explanation

The Japanese noun '数百 (すうひゃく)' means 'hundreds'. It is used to indicate an approximate quantity in the hundreds, often when the exact number is not specified or is not important. This term is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts. For example: hundreds of people attended the event「数百人がイベントに参加した」(すうひゃくにんがイベントにさんかした).
