k as in kg means kilogram
To convert from one SI prefix to another, you can use the factor of 10 raised to the power of the difference between the prefixes. For example, to convert from kilo- to mega-, you would multiply by 10^(6-3)=10^3.
Prefix
In the SI, the usual SI prefixes would be used for smaller units - prefixes such as milli, micro, etc.
There are 1000 joules in one kilojoule. This is because "kilo" stands for 1000 in the International System of Units (SI).
i know this is stupid, but that's why i remember it tera giga mega kilo hecto deka deci centi milli micro nano pico femto atto Right? k well i say the giant mom killed her dumb doctor cause. and then i remember the alphabet hijkl M N o P... Micro Nano Pico. and then just idk the last two.. femto atto, you'll just actually have to remember those. hope that helped lol
The SI prefixes are from Greek, including deka, hecta, kilo, and mega (10, 100, 1000, 1 million)
denci is not an SI prefix. centi = 0.01 or one hundredth kilo = 1000 = thousand milli = 0.001 = one thousandth.
The prefixes "kilo-" and "mega-" are closest in size, as "kilo-" represents 1,000 (10^3) and "mega-" represents 1,000,000 (10^6). They are adjacent to each other on the International System of Units (SI) scale.
The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.The prefixes in this case are kilo, milli, and centi. Kilo means 1000, milli means 1/1000, centi means 1/100. For example, a kilogram is 1000 gram.
Sometimes you need a very large, or a very small, amount of a certain unit. One way to deal with that is to use prefixes like kilo, mega, milli, micro, and others.
no; however, femto- is an SI prefix meaning 10-15
That probably refers to the SI prefixes, such as kilo (meaning 1000), mega (meaning a million), milli (meaning 1/1000), etc.
Please take a look at the Wikipedia article "SI prefixes". There you can see the values of prefixes such as "mega", "kilo", and others. The prefixes are the same for all units. For example, "micro" always means a millionth, whether it is applied to gram, to hertz, to seconds, etc.
The correct order of prefixes beginning with kilo is kilo- (k), mega- (M), giga- (G), tera- (T), peta- (P). These prefixes are used to denote multiples of a unit of measurement.
Kilo = 1,000 times the base unit Abbreviation = K Here is a link for all of the SI Prefixes and their decimal, short scale, long scale, and prefix as well as the symbol of abbreviation : http://.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_prefix Hope this helped!
kilo = 1,000 mega = 1,000,000 milli = 0.001 (or 1/1000)
For units larger or smaller than the base units, you can use prefixes such as kilo (x 1000), Mega (x 1 million), milli (x 0.001), micro (x 0.000 001), etc.; for a complete list, search the Wikipedia for "SI prefixes".
