How to rename 5000 files into groups of 100?

Hi, I hope someone can help with this tricky problem

I have several folders with 5,000 files in each folder

I need to be able to prefix in a number starting at 100 for the first 100 files then increment by 1 for the next hundred files and so on

I guess another way to word it is...
the first 100 files in the folder are renamed to start with 100
the next 100 files renamed to start with 101
the last 100 files in the folder to start with 150

is that at all possible?

the reason I want to do this is to make it quicker to locate and select a group of 100 files to move to another folder. Once in their new folders, the prefix number will be removed to revert the filenames back to original
