A house centipede has up to 18 legs depending on the breed of centipede. This is the only insect that has that many legs.
It varies depending on the species. Although 'centi' means 100, no species have been found with that many legs. All centipedes have one pair of legs for each body segment, and the largest is the Geophilomorpha with 29 segments or 58 legs.
Centipedes have over 311 body legs. So divide that by two, to find the amount of segments.
The centipede is named by the number of legs it possesses. If you ever forget and ask yourself "how many legs does a centipede have?" just look at the prefix on the name. 'Cent' translates to mean 100 and there is your answer. Although some species of centipede do indeed have 100 legs it can vary from less than 100 to 200. Therefore it is more correct to say that a centipede can have 100 legs rather than it does have this many. While the word centipede literally means "100-footed," most centipedes do not have 100 legs. The number of legs a centipede has depends upon the number of body segments that make up its body and these numbers vary by species. Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment, with two pairs on each of the last two segments. A fully equipped adult centipede can have between 15 and 177 pairs of legs. Members of the Orders Lithobiomorpha and Scutigeromorpha have 15 pairs of legs. Unlike other centipede species, the Scutigera have long, multi-articulate, hairy legs, which enable them to establish a solid grip on the ground and move very quickly. However, Scutigera centipedes are not capable of pushing themselves through soil or into detritus. The house centipede has a rounded trunk with long, delicate legs, while the Geophilomorphs have long, slender bodies with up to 177 pairs of short legs. The colorful Scolopendromorphs have from 21 to 23 pairs of legs. The body segment behind the centipede's head contains two legs, which have been modified into venomous fangs for hunting prey. To aid in balance and agility, the legs of most centipede species become progressively longer the further away they are from the head. The last pair of legs trails behind the centipede's body and is equipped with sensory bristles. These legs act as a supplementary pair of antennae, allowing centipedes to back out of tight spaces. Centipedes are capable of dropping their legs when their survival depends upon it and can regenerate these body parts after shedding them.
This is hard to answer..... This is Because We Are Never Certain, people say around 750....this may help: Some centipedes have hundred or more legs but no millipedes got a thousand. Centipedes (Class Chilopoda) are fast-moving venomous, predatory, terrestrial arthropods that have long bodies and many jointed legs. How many legs a centipede has depends on its species and age. Despite their name, which stems from the Latin words 'centum' (meaning 'hundred') and 'ped' (meaning 'foot'), thus mean "hundred legged" not many centipedes actually have as many as that number. Some have as few as 15 pairs, others have as many as 173 pairs, but most sorts have about 35 pairs. They normally have around half that number of legs, though it is possible to find centipedes with over 200 legs. Centipedes are highly segmented but with only one pair of walking legs per segment. Millipedes (Class Diplopoda, previously also known as Chilognatha) are very elongated arthropods with cylindrical bodies that have two pairs of legs for each one of their 20 to 100 or more body segments (except for the first segment behind the head which does not have any appendages at all, and the next few which only have one pair of legs). Each segment that has two pairs of legs is a result of two single segments fused together as one. The millipede's most obvious feature is its large number of legs. If you want to know how many legs a millipede has, count the number of body segments and multiply by four. Its name is a compound word formed from the Latin roots milli ("thousand") and ped ("foot") meaning "thousand foot" but these creatures do not have a thousand legs, although there are rare species like "Illacme plenipes" that have up to 750 legs.( Illacme plenipes, typically have more 650 legs; the leggiest ever found in 1926 had 750. However, common species have between 80 and 400 legs.♥

An centipede has exactly 100 legs.

There are 12 pigs 15 ducks have 30 legs 102 legs - 30 legs = 72 legs. Pigs have four legs, ducks have two legs 72 legs divided by 6 = 12 12 ducks having 24 legs 12 pigs having 48 legs 24 + 24 + 30 = 102
he had 14 wives & 15 boy's & 8 girls altogether but then he kiled them all
A quadrilateral has four sides and a pentagon has five. So 2 quadrilaterals and 3 pentagons have 2x4 +3x5 sides = 8 + 15 = 23 sides altogether.
10 +5 = 15 you have 15 cents. Depending on who you ask it could also be $15.
There are 15 electrons in phosphorus, 45 electrons from five fluorine atoms, and they make 60 electrons altogether.
The number of legs can vary with age and maturity. The older the centipede gets, the more legs it has, up to 15 body segments (each segment has a pair of legs).
There are ten sides in a decagon and three sides in a triangle. So in 3 decagons and 5 triangles there are 3*10 + 5*3 = 30 + 15 = 45 sides altogether.
