It becomes 100 tiny magnets. Cutting a magnet doesn't really affect it much, of course each piece will be a weaker that the original because they are smaller, but the sum of all the pieces will be about equal to the original. Actually the above is an approximation, how the magnet is cut can make a difference, if the cutting involved hight heat or mechanical shock (for some types of magnet) considerable strength may be lost.

By cutting a magnet into pices we are still having smaller magnets. Each magnet will have a north and a south pole.

you would now have 100 tiny pieces of a magnet on your hands, they still would be magents and still have a north and south pole.

they would immediately jump on eachother to reassemble and then you'd have one big cracked magnet.

uhhhm, you would have 100 magnents not just 1
