How to convert long hundred to pieces?

What is long hundred?

A "long hundred" is an archaic unit of measurement that was used in the past, particularly in India and Southeast Asia. It's also known as a "century" or "great hundred."

One long hundred is equal to 120 units, not the standard 100 units. This unit of measurement was commonly used in ancient India, specifically during the Mauryan Empire (322-185 BCE) and the Gupta Empire (320-550 CE).

In modern times, however, the term "long hundred" is largely obsolete and has been replaced by more precise and standardized systems of measurement.
