Answer: Renaming the number: 760 hundred, the correct form is singular. 760,000 reads: seven hundred and sixty thousand. The words hundred, thousand, million and dozen, when used of a definite number, are never made plural: two dozen eggs; six thousand men etc. But, if they are used loosely, to convey the idea of a large number, they must be made plural and are followed by the preposition of: thousands of birds; hundreds of people etc.
