What is a fraction of a nano meter?

A picometre is a thousandth of a nanometre.


What are fraction or multiple associated with each of the following prefixes kilo deci centi milli micro and nano?

kilo = 1000deci = 1/10 centi = 1/100 milli = 1/1000 micro = 1/1000000 nano = 1/1000000000.


How small is a billionth?

Mathematicians, engineers and scientists avoid the words billion and billionth because they have different meanings in different countries. e.g. one billion (US) 109. one billion (UK) 1012. So, mathematicians use exponents as shown above. Engineers and scientists mostly use SI multipliers. 106 = Mega, 109 = Giga, 1012 = Tera 10-6 = micro, 10-9 = nano, 10-12 = pico. If you are American, a billionth is 10-9 . If you are a Brit it is 10-12.


Is there any real number that starts with J?

No - at least not in the English language. We have zero (starts with z) one (starts with o) two (starts with t) three (starts with t) four (starts with f) five (starts with f) six (starts with s) seven (starts with s) eight (starts with e) nine (starts with n) ten (starts with t) eleven (starts with e) twelve (starts with t) thirteen (starts with t) fourteen (starts with f) fifteen (starts with f) sixteen (starts with s) seventeen (starts with s) eighteen (starts with e) nineteen (starts with n) twenty (starts with t) thirty (starts with t) forty (starts with f) fifty (starts with f) sixty (starts with s) seventy (starts with s) eighty (starts with e) ninety (starts with n) from there on up, all numbers start with one of these, for example: 35,500,400,122 Thirty five billion five hundred million, four hundred thousand one hundred twenty-two (starts with T) We do have some number related words that we don't actually start the names of numbers with: Hundred Thousand Million Billion Trillion Quadrillion Quintillion Sextillion Septillion Octillion Nonillion Decillion Undecillion Duodecillion Tredecillion Quatrodecillion Virgintillion ... and so forth continuing to use the same types of prefixes with u (un), b(bi) d(duo,dec), t(tri), q(quad, quint), s(sex, sept), o(oct), n(non), c(cent), m(mili), None of them start with "J". The extremely large numbers Googol and Googleplex both start with G. The metric prefixes include kilo mega giga tera peta exa zeta yotta (none of which start with J) and fractional prefixes of deci centi milli micro nano pico femto atto zepto yocto (still nothing starting with J) Informally 10 to the 27th power is called "hella" - as sort of a nerd joke - but still no "J" number.
