Multiplication.
An SI prefix, unless that unit already has a prefix.
You have to multiply by the conversation ratio.
Divide by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in the smaller unit.
You move it to the left. As the unit gets larger, the base number gets smaller. One gram would be .001 kilograms. A kilogram is much larger than a gram, so the base number would be smaller to make up for being represented by a larger unit.
How do you change metric units?
In a given circle, the radius is 9 cm. What is diameter?
to get a unit
To change from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you have to divide. For example, 100 centimetres is equal to 1 metre.

When changing from a larger unit to a smaller unit, there will be more of them, so you will multiply.
Move it to the left.
Because the number of larger units will be less than the number of smaller units, and when you divide the answer is usually smaller than the number you started with.
You convert to a larger unit. Smaller to larger. Metre is 1000 times larger than a millimetre
An SI prefix, unless that unit already has a prefix.
To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit you would multiply. Ex: 5 km = 5000 m Where 1 km = 1000 m <><><><><> It depends on which factor you are multiplying or dividing by. It can go either way. To convert from ounces to grams, for instance, you can divide by 28.350, or you can multiply by 0.035273.
