If you mean 10 to the power plus 3, the answer is kilo.
12
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 108 = 178
The prefix micro-, as in micrometre, or microsecond, refers to 10-6, or one millionth, of the whole.
One method is (10×4)+(5×3) = 55 (or mentally add up from left to right).
It is kilo-
There is no prefix for "10-3".
The Metric system is based on 10.
12
There is no special prefix for that factor. There are SI prefixes for powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001), and especially for powers of 1000 (1000, a million, a billion, 1/1000, etc.)
It indicates 10-12 of a unit.

The metric prefix for 10 is deka-. This is similar (but different) from the metric prefix for 1/10 which is deci-
kilo
1.35 meters. 100 cm = 1 m. 135/100 = 1.35. This displays the inherent usefulness of the metric system as all units and subunits are simply related by powers of 10 and can be readily identified by their prefix. Milli = 1/1000 of a unit Centi = 1/100 of a unit Deci = 1/10 of a unit No prefix = that unit Deca = 10 * that unit Hecto = 100 * that unit Kilo = 1000 times that unit And so on.
The prefix deci = unit/10 " " centi = unit/100. Thus there are 10cm to 1dm, therefore 9dm = 90cm.
Every prefix in the metric system denotes a power of 10.
