Dozen Dozen to Pieces conversion

What is dozen dozen?

A "dozen" is 12 items, and a "dozen dozen", also known as a "gross", is therefore 12 x 12 = 144 items.

In other words, if you have a dozen eggs (12 eggs), and you take a dozen of those dozens (12 groups of 12 eggs each), you'll end up with a total of 144 eggs!

The term "dozen" comes from Old English and Germanic roots, where it was used to describe a group of 12 items. The word "gross", on the other hand, is derived from the Middle Low German and Middle Dutch words for "a dozen dozens".

So, there you have it! A dozen dozen (or gross) is indeed 144 items.
