conversion factor
to get a unit
You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
The answer to that one is going to depend on two things:-- what unit you are converting from-- what unit you are converting to

To change a larger unit to a smaller unit, you would typically divide by the conversion factor. For example, to convert 1 meter to centimeters, you would multiply by 100 (as 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters).

To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit you would multiply. Ex: 5 km = 5000 m Where 1 km = 1000 m <><><><><> It depends on which factor you are multiplying or dividing by. It can go either way. To convert from ounces to grams, for instance, you can divide by 28.350, or you can multiply by 0.035273.
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.

A prefix can change the size of a unit when added to the front of it. For example, "kilo-" makes a unit larger and "milli-" makes a unit smaller.
Decagram if going from larger unit to smaller unit, and decigram if from smaller to larger.
There are lots of small units in each big unit. As a result, the number of small units is greater and to go from a greater number to a smaller number you need to divide by a number which is biiger than 1.Alternatively, to change a smaller unit to a larger unit you can always multiply by a number which is between 0 and 1.
