Note
The plural mostly counts parts rather than places: three hundredths, hundredths of a second, thirty-two hundredths. Only the noun takes the -s. As an adjective (the hundredth day), hundredth never changes. In quick speech it is easily blurred with hundreds, but the two sit far apart: hundreds are wholes many times over, while hundredths are slivers of a single one.
