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-.
does international system of units mean a version of the metric system used by modern scientists
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.
