Any unit prefixed with the word milli- indicates one thousandth of the main unit. Any unit prefixed with the word micro- indicates one millionth of the main unit. Therefore, 125 of any unit prefixed with milli-, such as milligrams or millimetres, is more than 112 of the same unit prefixed with micro-, for example, micrograms or micrometres.
