one hundred thousand; 100,000
numberquantity
1. one hundred thousand; 100,000
The number 100,000, formed as 十(じゅう) (ten) × 万(まん) (10,000). English switches unit here — "hundred thousand" — while Japanese simply counts ten 万(まん).
十万(じゅうまん)円(えん)の時計(とけい)。
A hundred-thousand-yen watch.
その動画(どうが)は十万(じゅうまん)回(かい)再生(さいせい)された。
That video was viewed a hundred thousand times.
台風(たいふう)の影響(えいきょう)で、十万(じゅうまん)世帯(せたい)以上(いじょう)が停電(ていでん)した。
Because of the typhoon, more than a hundred thousand households lost power.

Because Japanese groups digits in fours and English in threes, this is the point where mental conversion becomes error-prone: 100,000 is 十万(じゅうまん) (ten 万(まん)), and 1,000,000 is 百万(ひゃくまん) (a hundred 万(まん)).
