Kilo- is the unit of the metric system that represents 1000 times the base unit.
The metric system prefix for the quantity 0.000 001 is micro-, denoted as μ. This represents one millionth of the base unit.
In the metric system the prefix milli~ always referes to one-thousandth of the base unit.millilitre = 0.001 litresmillimetre = 0.001 metresmilligramme = 0.001 grammesBut a millipede is not a creature with 0.001 legs! ;-)
There are 0.001 km in 1 meter. All you have to do is multiply 10 by 0.001. Just remember when you go from a prefix to a base, km being a prefix and m being a base, you multiply. When you are going from a base to a prefix, divide. 10 times 0.001 is 0.01m.
The prefix "milli-" means one thousandth or 0.001. It is commonly used in the International System of Units (SI) to denote subunits of a base unit, for example, a millimeter is one thousandth of a meter.
