twohundredfold

Twohundredfold is a term that signifies an increase or multiplication by a factor of two hundred. It is a literal expression denoting a quantity that is 200 times larger than its original value. This can apply to various contexts, such as financial growth, population increase, or the amplification of a signal. For example, if an investment of $100 grows to $20,000, it has grown twohundredfold. Similarly, if a population of 10 individuals expands to 2,000, it has also increased twohundredfold. The term emphasizes the significant magnitude of the change, highlighting a substantial expansion or accumulation. It is not a technical term with a specific scientific or mathematical definition beyond its direct numerical meaning, but rather a descriptive phrase used to convey a large multiplication.
