Deci represents 1/10, centi is 1/100, milli is 1/1000, micro is 1/1,000,000, nano is 1/1,000,000,000, and pico is 1/1,000,000,000,000. These unit prefixes are used in the metric system to denote multiples or fractions of a base unit.
The metric units between milli and micro are centi (0.01) and deci (0.1).
kilo, hecto, deka, 1 unit, deci, centi, milli, micro, nano, pico
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.
Some common electrical prefixes include milli- (m), which represents one thousandth (10^-3), micro- (μ) for one millionth (10^-6), kilo- (k) for one thousand (10^3), and mega- (M) for one million (10^6). These prefixes are used to express different orders of magnitude in electrical measurements.
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-.
