1 000; there are one thousand milligrams in a gram, one thousand grams in a kilogram, one thousand kilogram in a megagram ( also called tonne).
Historically there are divisions for tens and hundreds; and tenths and hundredths, but these are rarely used.
The metric system is based on units of 10. For example, in meters, a megameter (Mm) is one million meters, a kilometer (km) is one thousand meters, a decimeter (dm) is a tenth of a meter, a centimeter (cm) is a hundredth of a meter, a millimeter (mm) is a thousandth, a micrometer a millionth, and a nanometer (nm) a billionth.
It is based on multiples of 10:

The metric system is a called a decimal-basedsystem because it is based on multiples of ten.
the metric system is based off of the common multiplier of 10 and raises exponentially I.E. 1000meters is 1 kilometer or 1x10^3
The metric system is based on multiples of 10.

The metric system is not based on the multiples of 100. It is based on the multiples of ten.
The Metric system is based on the number 10 and its multiples, which includes numbers like 100, 1,000, 10,000, etc.
Not quite. Larger or smaller units are created by adding prefixes for different powers of 10 - not only 100.
