It is a slang meaning very basic or simple, anyone should be able to to it. It was taken from the American college system that has all their first year courses numbered as 101 ie Math 101, Humanities101 etc.
Hope this helps.

If 101 is said after an academic subject, for example Psychology 101, it means a basic introduction to the subject.

It means elementary, or simple, or beginning. It comes from The college class, English 101, which is usually the first, most basic class college students take.

Sometimes it looks like 101 but is really lol (LOL in lower case). It means "laugh out loud". Could this be what you mean?
