About these units
Trillion (short Scale) (T)
One thousand billion (10¹²) in the short scale used in English.
A trillion is a thousand billion, 10¹², and its name fits the short-scale pattern in which each new name multiplies by a thousand: million, billion, trillion, quadrillion. The prefix tri- is Latin for three, and in Jehan Adam's 1475 scheme trimillion meant the third power of a million, 10¹⁸. That is still the long-scale meaning of trillion, so the short-scale trillion equals the long-scale billion.
The SI prefix for 10¹² is tera-. Where the long scale is used, including continental Europe, French Canada, and the Spanish-speaking Americas, the same word names 10¹⁸. A trillion seconds is about 31,700 years. Trillions turn up in energy statistics: an explainer from the U.S. Energy Information Administration cites U.S. natural gas consumption of 32.51 trillion cubic feet, which it converts to 33.61 quads.
1 trillion (short scale) = 1,000,000,000,000 pieces (exactly).

Hundred (100)
One hundred.
The English word hundred descends from Old English hundred and, further back, from a Proto-Germanic compound that joined the old root for 100 with a word meaning count or row. For much of history it did not always mean 100. Old Norse counted large numbers in twelves of tens, and medieval England used a long hundred of 120 beside the short hundred of 100. Around 1300 the Assize of Weights and Measures had both in play: a hundred kippers or a hundred ells of hemp canvas or linen meant 120, while a hundred fresh herring meant 100.
The word also named a historical subdivision of southern English counties, notionally 12,000 acres. Today a hundred is simply ten tens, five score, or a tenth of a thousand, and the SI prefix hecto stands for 10². The long hundred faded as Arabic numerals, which rely on base 10, spread from the 14th century onward.
1 hundred = 100 pieces (exactly).
