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.
In the metric system, the prefix "centi-" means one per cent, or a hundredth of the base unit. Centimetres are .01 metres. Centilitres are .01 litres. Centigrams are .01 grams. Centiares are .01 ares (not that anyone ever talks about centiares or ares for that matter).
Kilo- is the unit of the metric system that represents 1000 times the base unit.
The prefix is "kilo".
The prefix for volume is "milli-" which represents one thousandth of the base unit.
"Kilo" is a prefix that means 1000 times the base unit. For example, 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. "Milli" is a prefix that means one-thousandth of the base unit. For example, 1 milliliter is equal to 0.001 liters.
Adding a prefix changes the magnitude of the base unit. The prefix indicates a multiple of 10 by which the base unit is multiplied. Common prefixes include milli- (0.001), kilo- (1000), and mega- (1,000,000).
For square units, the prefix is applied to the base unit - that is, before squaring it, not after. Thus, a square kilometer (km2) = 1000 m times 1000 m, which is equal to a million square meters.
dec-(i think)
The prefix kilo represents a value of 1,000 or 10^3. It is commonly used to indicate a multiple of a base unit by 1,000, such as kilogram or kilometer.
The prefix "milli-" represents the smallest value, which is one thousandth of the base unit. It is denoted by the symbol "m" in the International System of Units (SI).

"Centi" as in centimetre.
