If you are just saying 100, use cem. If it's over 100, use cento. So 101 is cento e um. And 156 would be cento e cinqüenta e seis. The words for 16, 17, 18 and 19 are pronounced like dzesseis, dzessete, dzoito and dzenove respectively. The only numbers that have a feminine form are 1 (um / uma) and 2 (dois / duas). All other numbers are masculine.
