Numbers from 100 to 1 million in Spanish
For hundreds:
100 - cien
101 to 199 - ciento
200 to 299 - doscientos
300 to 399 - trescientos
400 to 499 - cuatrocientos
500 to 599 - quinientos[1]
600 to 699 - seiscientos
700 to 799 - setecientos[1]
800 to 899 - ochocientos
900 to 999 - novecientos[1]
[1] Irregular: it doesn't follow the number + cientos pattern.
For thousands:
1.000 - mil
2.000 - dos mil
3.000 - tres mil
etc.
For millions:
1.000.000 - un millón
2.000.000 - dos millones
etc.
In most Spanish-speaking countries we use periods instead of commas for thousands.
Hundreds from 200 through 900 have gender in Spanish. When they go before a noun, they match its gender: cuatrocientos dieciséis gatos, quinientas quince sillas.
We don't add any extra y when using hundreds. For example, 457 would be cuatrocientos cincuenta y siete; it would never be cuatrocientos "y" cincuenta y siete.
If studying feels effortless, you're probably not learning much. A bit of struggle during practice is a good sign. Difficulty isn't the enemy of learning; it's the mechanism.
