Micro Metric Prefix Math

The prefixes like mega and nano are affixed before the seconds to denote the smaller time units.

Micro metric prefix math. The base unit for a micrometer is meter and the prefix is micro. Yocto y 0 000000000000000000000001 10 24. Confirmed in 1960 the prefix comes from the greek μικρό meaning small. The symbol for micrometer is μm and the international spelling for this unit is micrometre.

All metric prefixes used today are decadic each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol. For example mcg commonly but confusingly denotes a microgram. Micro is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 6. The metric system has prefix modifiers that are multiples of 10.

Metric prefix thousandth milli 0 001. Pico p 0 000000000001 10 12. The metric prefixes indicate that the basic unit has either been multiplied or divided by a factor of ten. The symbol for the prefix comes from the greek letter μ.

The prefix kilo for example may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand. One kilogram is equal to one thousand grams.

Compute the absolute exponential distance between two given prefixes. N 0 000000001 10 9. Mc is commonly used as a prefix when the character μ is not available. Here is a number line with the two prefixes in problem sixteen marked.

Atto a 0 000000000000000001 10 18. A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. Also the letter u instead of μ is allowed by one of the iso. Zepto z 0 000000000000000000001 10 21.
