Bin-, standing for 2.
Tri-, standing for 3.
Quadr-, standing for 4. Hence the word "Square" = (S)quadr-
Quin(t)-, standing for 5.
Hex-, standing for 6.
Sept-, standing for 7.
Oct(a)-, standing for 8.
Nona-, standing for 9.
Deca-, standing for 10.
Dozen, standing for 12. ("Thousands" stands for: Dozens, because many dozens = many thousands, in the production line).
Hexadeci-, standing for 16.
In Numericals, and in Measurements:
Deca- / Deka-, standing for 10 (times 10)
Hecto-, standing for 100 (times 100).
Kilo-, standing for 1000 (times 1000).
[Myriad-, standing for 10000.]
Mega-, standing for 1000000 (= 10^6).
Giga-, standing for 1000000000 (= 10^9).
Tera-, standing for 1000000000000 (= 10^12).
Peta-, standing for 1000000000000000 (= 10^15).
The whole sequence is:
Kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, exa, zetta, yotta, xona, weka, vunda, uda, treda, sorta, rinta, quexa, pepta, ocha, nena, minga, luma.
where every succedent (next) member of it equals 1000 times the precedent (e.g. Exa = Peta times 1000, Yotta = Exa times 1000000).
Actually, "treda" suggests 13, "quexa" suggests 16.
(That is: Treda- = (10^3)^13 = 10^39. Quexa- = (10^3)^16 = 10^48.)
For fractions, the sequence is:
deci-, standing for 1/10.
centi-, standing for 1/100.
milli-, standing for 1/1000.
micro-, standing for 1/1000000 (10^-6)
nano-, standing for 1/1000000000 (10^-9)
pico-, standing for 1/1000000000000 (10^-12)
The whole sequence is:
milli, micro, nano, pico, femto, atto, zepto, yocto, Y, Z, E, P, T, G, M, k, h, da, d, c, m, Á, ...
The prefix meaning 10 in the metric system is "deca-".

D (deca). Not a "preferred" multiple.
No, "femo" is not a SI prefix. The SI (International System of Units) prefixes are used to denote multiples or fractions of base units in the metric system, such as kilo-, mega-, milli-, etc.
The SI prefix meaning of 0.001 is "milli-". This prefix denotes a factor of 1/1000, so 0.001 can be written as 1 milliunit.
The prefix deci means 10th (1/10) 10.
The prefix deca- means ten. It is used in the metric system to denote a factor of ten, such as decagram (10 grams) or decimeter (1/10 of a meter).
The prefix that means thousands in the metric system is "kilo-". It represents a factor of 1000.
The metric system prefix for the quantity 0.001 is Milli.
The Metric system is based on 10.
Every prefix in the metric system denotes a power of 10.
No, "femo" is not a SI prefix. The SI (International System of Units) prefixes are used to denote multiples or fractions of base units in the metric system, such as kilo-, mega-, milli-, etc.
dag is: * the da prefix (which is deca-); to * the unit g (which is gram); meaning dag is decagrams deca- prefix means 10, thus 1 dag = 10 g
1 x 10^-6 prefix: micro-
Centi (= 10-2) is an accepted prefix in the International System of Units (SI).
The SI prefix meaning of 0.001 is "milli-". This prefix denotes a factor of 1/1000, so 0.001 can be written as 1 milliunit.
As far as I know, the smallest metric prefix is "yocto-," which is 10-24.
The prefix deci means 10th (1/10) 10.
As far as I know, the smallest metric prefix is "yocto-," which is 10-24.
In the metric system, the prefix that means 1000 is kilo-. Another prefix f is milli- and, it stands for thousandth. Prefixes are useful in converting between two quantities. For example, you can easily convert between kilometers and meters.
