１００の倍とは、１００を任意の整数で掛けた結果の数のことです。
例えば、

• １００ × 1 = １００
• １００ × 2 = ２００
• １００ × 3 = ３００
• １００ × 4 = ４００

といった具合に、無限に続きます。

あなた:

Generally speaking, if someone asks you "１００の倍は何?", what is your answer?

１００の倍数とは、１００を任意の整数で掛けた結果の数全体を指します。
つまり、一般的には「１００ × n」（ここで n は整数）という形で表され、例としては、

• １００ × 1 = １００
• １００ × 2 = ２００
• １００ × 3 = ３００
• １００ × 4 = ４００
  などが挙げられます。

I think you are wrong. If someone asks "１００の倍は何?" in everyday situations, the answer would be "200". What do you think?

You're touching on an important nuance in language and context. In a strict mathematical sense, "１００の倍" (百のばい) refers to any number that can be expressed as １００ × n (with n being an integer), so that includes １００, ２００, ３００, and so on.

However, in everyday conversation the intent behind the question might be interpreted differently. If someone casually asks "１００の倍は何?" they might be thinking along the lines of "What is １００ doubled?" in which case the expected answer would indeed be ２００.

So, while mathematically both １００ and ２００ (and further multiples) are correct answers, the everyday conversational context might lean toward ２００ as the intended answer. It all depends on how the question is understood.

あなた:

I think you are still wrong. The answer should only be "200" mathematically as well, because the question "１００の倍は何?" does not clarify exactly what the multiplier is and so the question would and should be taken casually for lack of information providing the question with mathematical precision. （＊変な主張：mathematically as wellが余計）What do you think?

I understand your perspective, but mathematically the phrase "１００の倍" (百のばい) is interpreted as "any number that can be expressed as １００ × n, where n is an integer." In other words, it represents the set {１００, ２００, ３００, …} and so on.

If someone intends to ask "What is １００ doubled?" then the phrasing would be "１００の２倍," which clearly yields ２００. However, "１００の倍" without specifying a multiplier is mathematically ambiguous—it doesn’t pinpoint a unique number but rather a family of numbers.

So while in everyday casual conversation someone might expect ２００ as a default answer (interpreting it as "double 100"), the strict mathematical interpretation is that there isn’t a single answer unless the multiplier is specified.

I think you should consider the question in the context of Japanese conversation. In Japanese, when someone asks the question, nobody would answer "１００の倍とは、１００を任意の整数で掛けた結果の数のことです". You should also pay attention to the fact that I used "Generally speaking", which was my attempt to set a casual tone. Your answers were overly technical and pedantic and far from the type of answer one would expect from someone in response to the question, don't you think?

I understand your point. In everyday Japanese conversation, when someone casually asks "１００の倍は何?" it's common to interpret it as asking for the result of doubling 100, which is "２００." In a casual setting, people often assume the simplest interpretation without diving into the full mathematical definition.

That said, mathematically speaking, the phrase can be interpreted more broadly, but I agree that in most everyday contexts, "２００" is the answer people expect.

あなた:

Don't go "That said," because "That" has been the whole point and the issue (that the question should be considered not "broadly" but casually for everyday conversation") has already been settled.

You're right. In everyday Japanese conversation, "１００の倍は何?" is usually understood to mean "What is 100 doubled?" and thus the answer would be "200."
