Answer: Renaming the number: 760 hundred, the correct form is <em>singular.</em> 760,000 reads: seven hundred and sixty thousand. The words<em> hundred,</em> <em>thousand, million and dozen</em>, when used of a definite number, are never made plural:<em> two</em> <em>dozen</em> eggs; <em>six thousand</em> men etc. But, if they are used loosely, to convey the idea of a large number, they must be made plural and are followed by the preposition of: thousands of birds; hundreds of people etc.
