· The multiples and sub multiples of mass are the Petagram, teragram, gigagram, megagram, kilogram, gram, milligram, microgram.AnswerAs the SI base unit for mass is the kilogram, the gram is the submultiple -not the other way around!
gram is multiple and milligram is sub multiple of kilogram
Mass can be measured in -- kilogram, and any of its multiples and sub-multiples -- pound-mass -- slug
Multiple and sub-multiples are used when the range of values is too large to be measured in a single unit.
"one millionth of ..."
The kilogram is the basic metric unit of mass. Its 10-foldmultiples and sub-multiples are also used as appropriate.
The SI (Systeme International) units for mass is the kilogram. For length, it is the Metre, and for volume, the Litre. Note the system is known as the International System, (SI). The International Bureau for Weights and Measures is located near Paris France, the on their web site they have lots of useful information, including for example, the prefixes for the multiples and sub-multiples. Such as Mega, and micro.

There are uncountably many of them, because the prefixes can go on for ever.
They are related as they are parts of the same measurement unit: They are either whole kilograms or fractions of a kilogram, or both, as in 12kg 23gm.
