There are 899 numbers between one hundred (100) and one thousand (1000).
Let's break down how we arrive at this answer:
-
Understanding "between": The question asks for numbers between 100 and 1000. This means we do not include 100 or 1000 in our count.
-
Counting the numbers: To find the total numbers between 100 and 1000, we subtract the lower limit (100) from the upper limit (1000), and then subtract 1 because we don't want to include the lower limit in our count.
- Calculation: 1000 - 100 - 1 = 899
Therefore, the answer is 899.
