It is the prefix for million.
In the metric system, a capital M represents the prefix "Mega-" which denotes multiplication by 1,000,000. This is equivalent to 10^6 (1 million). For example, 1 Megameter is equal to 1,000,000 meters.
The prefix for million is mega-.
I had to count the 0s - it would have been easier to space them in threes. Anyway that is I Million, so the prefix is M.

1 gram is in the metric system. do you mean 1ounce?

In the metric system, the abbreviation "Mg" stands for megagram, which is a unit of mass equivalent to 1,000 kilograms or 1 metric ton. The prefix "mega-" denotes a factor of one million, but in this context, it specifically refers to the metric ton. Therefore, 1 Mg is equal to 1,000,000 grams.

A mega is bigger than a kilo. In the metric system, a kilo (kilogram) represents 1,000 units, while a mega (megagram) represents 1,000,000 units. Therefore, one mega is equal to 1,000 kilos.

The metric prefix for million is "mega-." In the International System of Units (SI), "mega-" represents a factor of 10^6, or one million. This prefix is commonly used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and computing to denote values that are one million times larger than the base unit.
it means the numbers in the metric system

The metric prefix meaning one million is mega-, as in megabyte.The metric prefix meaning one-millionth is micro-, as in micrometer.
Yes, the metric unit for 1000 kilometers is one megameter (Mm). In the metric system, "mega" denotes a factor of one million, so 1 Mm is equal to 1000 kilometers.
