micro - one millionth (0.000001)centi - one hundreth (0.01)Kilo - one thousand (1,000)Mega - one million (1,000,000)milli - one thousandth (0.001)
kilo = 1,000 mega = 1,000,000 milli = 0.001 (or 1/1000)
they are french and originally derived from greek
Prefixes based on powers of 10 can be used with any SI (metric) unit. Some of the common prefixes are: Deka (10) Hekto (100) deci (1/10) centi (1/100) kilo (1000 Mega (million) milli (1/1000) micro (1/1,000,000)
It is kilo, not killo. milli = 1/1000 and kilo = 1000 so a kilo represents a much bigger amount.
The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.
centi-, milli-, micro-, deca-, kilo-
Kilograms. The metric system prefixes are as follows: Kilo- Hecto- Deka- Base unit Deci- Centi- Milli- Kilo- is the largest and milli- is the smallest.
The prefixes in order from least to greatest are milli-, centi-, deci-, unit (no prefix), deca-, hecto-, kilo-.
kilo = 1000deci = 1/10 centi = 1/100 milli = 1/1000 micro = 1/1000000 nano = 1/1000000000.
Mega = 1,000,000 units kilo = 1,000 units centi = 1/100 unit milli = 1/1,000 unit micro= 1/1,000,000 unit nano = 1/1,000,000,000 unit
The prefixes of grams are "milli-" (1/1000), "centi-" (1/100), and "kilo-" (1000).
micro - one millionth (0.000001)centi - one hundreth (0.01)Kilo - one thousand (1,000)Mega - one million (1,000,000)milli - one thousandth (0.001)
The major prefixes for metric units in order from largest to smallest are kilo-, hecto-, deca-, base unit (gram, liter, meter), deci-, centi-, and milli-.
The basic prefixes deci, centi and milli decrease by powers of ten and deca, hecto and kilo increase by powers of ten.
The main ones are: Micro = one millionth Milli = one thousandth Centi = one hundredth Kilo = thousands Mega = millions Nano has become of large importance to technology as of late. This is 10-9 For other prefices follow the link below.
