What are the metric system prefixes 1 through 10?

Answer 1

The SI prefix for a tenth is centi-; centimetre, centilitre, centigram .

This is almost never used, centimetres are sometimes used to describe length, but in most cases divisions of thousands are used, milli-, micro, nano, kilo, mega.

Answer 2

There are no metric prefixes 1 through 10. The question doesn't make sense. In the metric system, things are measured in units. For example, distance is measured in metres. The prefixes go in the thousands or thousandths. The MKS (original system) defines 16 prefixes which are yotta, zetta, exa, tera, giga, mega, kilo, (unit has no prefix), milli, micro, nano, pico, femto, atto, zepto and yocto, each 1000 times smaller than the one before it except kilo to milli which is one million times smaller because the base unit has NO prefix.

The SI system also defines a few more like centi, deci, hecta etc. but these just make things confusing. For distances up to 1 metre, millimetres is used such as 123.4 mm. From 1 metre to 1 kilometre just the unit with no prefix is used eg 56.7m. For 1000m and above a kilometre is used eg. 8.9 km and so forth and so forth. Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes and Terabytes come from the same plce, each 1000 times bigger than the one before it.

The proper name is not prefix , but multiple and submultiple.

Have a look at the website for BIPM, (Bureau International Poids et Measure) which is the international body responsible for setting measurements. Your favourite search engine will get it for you.

Units named after people are usually capitalized, e.g. Hertz Hz, Pascal Pa, Volts V, Amperes A.

Answer 3

Assuming you mean one tenth (1/10) then it's deci-.
