milli- prefix means one thousandth (1/1000)

centi- prefix means one hundredth (1/100)

ten thousandths = 10 x 1/1000 = 10/1000 = 1/100 = one hundredth

⇒ 10 mg = 1 cg

Just like 10 mm = 1 cm.

In the metric system, the same prefixes are used for the different units in exactly the same way.

The same rules apply to Grams, so Answer is: Centigram is 10 times the size of a Milligram It is very rare for people to refer to a Centigram.
