Does the prefix deci- indicate a larger number number than the prefix centi-?
The deci- prefix means one tenth (1/10 = 0.1) The centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100 = 0.01) Therefore for the same unit, a deci- one is larger than a centi- one. eg 1 decimetre is larger than 1 centimetre since 1 dm = 0.1m > 0.01m = 1 cm.
What is the difference between deca and Deci?

In practical terms, a decameter is ten meters, while a decimeter is one-tenth of a meter. These prefixes help in expressing measurements in a standardized way across various scales.
