The smallest official prefix is yocto which is 1 x 10−24, which 1 with 23 zeros in front of it. This isn't used very often.

How do the prefixes in the metric system?

In the metric systems, unlike other systems, there is only one unit for each measurement; e.g the only unit for length is the metre. For lengths much longer, or shorter, lengths we use prefixes to indicate the fraction or multiple of the metre. For short lengths the fractions are thousandths, millionths, billionths; for which the prefixes are milli-, micro-, and nano-. For longer lengths, the multiples are thousands, millions, and billions; for which the prefixes are kilo-, mega-, and giga-. The prefixes indicate the fraction,or the multiple of the base unit.

Is pint a smallest measurement?

I think the milliliter(metric system) is the smallest so it is one of them, not the smallest but one of the smallest measurements of liquid.
