Multiple and sub-multiples are used when the range of values is too large to be measured in a single unit.
these are used to express very large number small and very small
· The multiples and sub multiples of mass are the Petagram, teragram, gigagram, megagram, kilogram, gram, milligram, microgram.AnswerAs the SI base unit for mass is the kilogram, the gram is the submultiple -not the other way around!

SI is a base 10 standardized system
these are used to express very large number small and very small
Mass can be measured in -- kilogram, and any of its multiples and sub-multiples -- pound-mass -- slug
Multiples of time include hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Submultiples of time include minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and microseconds. These units are used to measure different scales of time depending on the context.
gram is multiple and milligram is sub multiple of kilogram
Kilograms and multiples (or fractions) of it.
All metric units of linear measurement are multiples or sub-multiples of the meter.-- nanometer = 10-9-- millimeter = 10-3-- centimeter = 10-2-- meter-- kilometer = 103..etc.
The prefix is used for the name of multiples and submultiples.

A Newton and kiloNewton are two commonly used units. Note that the answer is NOT kilograms or its multiples since those are units of mass and that is not the same as weight. You have the same mass on earth as on the moon but your weight will be different.
It isn't technically necessary; it is used for convenience, to avoid using very small or very large numbers.
