Definition
五六百 is an approximate number meaning 'around five or six hundred' (500–600). It combines the numerals 五 (five) and 六 (six) with 百 (hundred) to express a rough range, common in everyday pricing, counting, and estimation. Despite the POS tag 'm' (measure word), it functions as a numeral/quantity and is not a classifier.
