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).

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)
