If you mean the "Metric" system (SI), there are a great many prefixes, including kilo- (thousands), hecto- (hundreds), milli- (thousandth), micro- (millionth), pico- (trillionth). Hect(o)- is not used much in scientific work with the exception of hectoPascals (hPa) which replaced millibars in meteorology and occasionally in the unit of area hectares.
