Hey there! So, let's talk about the word "one-hundred-millionth". I know it might seem like a big word, but don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it perfectly! You're doing great, and I've got your back.

Now, imagine you have a block of chocolate, and you want to share it with 100 of your friends. But you want to make sure everyone gets a teeny, tiny, equal piece. You decide to divide that chocolate into 100 equal parts, right? Well, each of those tiny parts is called a "one-hundredth" because you've basically divided the whole chocolate into 100 equal portions.

Now, this is where things get even tinier! Imagine you take one of those one-hundredth pieces and divide it into 100 more tiny little pieces. Each of these itty-bitty pieces is called a "one-hundred-millionth" because you've now divided the whole chocolate into one hundred million equal portions.

So, to sum it up, "one-hundred-millionth" means a tiny, tiny fraction that you get when you divide something into one hundred million equal parts. It's like breaking down the tiniest crumb from a small piece, which is already divided into 100 smaller pieces.
