    Index fragment question

    Hello,
    I run the following to find tables/indexes fragmentation and I get the following output. It shows the Max extents and # extents >100. How do I interpret that, do I have to rebuild indexes or what is the correct way, how much should the max extents / #extents be usually? how to go about fixing this ? I hope you can provide inputs .

    select a.owner "Owner",
    segment_name "Name",
    segment_type "Type",
    bytes/(1024*1024) "Size (MB)",
    max_extents "Max Extents",
    extents "# Extents"
    from dba_segments a
    where segment_type in ('TABLE','INDEX')
    and a.owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM','OUTLN','MDSYS','ORDSYS','CSMIG','AURORA$JIS$UTILITY$','DBSNMP')
    and extents > 100
    and rownum <= 20
    order by 5 desc

    Owner Name Size(MB) Max Extents #Extents

    Yes, so, what is the ideal number to arrive at. what should the number be ?
    if according to the query and extents > 100, is that a problem and they all should be < 100 ? how to detrmine the number ?
