It has 100 legs.
No, it completely depends on the order and species. Well, first of all none have "toes". But if you mean "legs", then anywhere from 7 pairs in a young specimen, to 15 pairs in an adult Lithobiid, to more than 350 in some Geophilomorphs. Interestingly, in Geophilomorphs, the number of segments varies by where they live (see http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120712790/abstract), and males and females have different numbers of segments (females typically having 2 more). Some centipedes add segments as they grow, while other are born with all their segments. And no, millipedes don't have 1000 segments either. :)
Here's a good exercise -- do a Google image search for "centipede", and count for yourself. Easier than waiting for a potentially wrong answer from a stranger.
And contemplate a scientific mystery -- in a species that has exactly say 143 segments, how do the embryonic cells know to make exactly that many segments, no more, no less??? How do they keep count?
In "James and the Giant Peach," the Centipede has 42 legs.
