Metric Numbers

(See also Metric/Imperial Conversion Charts and Unit Converter)

What is kilo, mega, giga, tera ... ?

In the Metric System there are standard ways to talk about big and small numbers:

"kilo" for a thousand,

"mega" for a million,

and more ...

Example: A long rope measures one thousand meters It is easier to say it is 1 kilometer long, and even easier to write it down as 1 km. So we used kilo in front of the word meter to make "kilometer". And the abbreviation is "km" (k for kilo and m for meter, put together).

Some more examples:

Example: You put your bag on a set of scales and it shows 2000 grams, we can call that 2 kilograms, or simply 2 kg. Example: Teaspoon A teaspoon holds 5 thousandths of a liter (51000 of a liter), but it is better to say "5 milliliters", or write it simply as 5 mL.

"kilo", "mega", "milli" etc are called "prefixes":

Prefix: a word part that can be added to the beginning of another word to create a new word So, using the prefix "milli" in front of "liter" creates a new word "milliliter".

Here we list the prefix for commonly used big and small numbers:

I can't even write down the number, because there is not enough matter in the universe to form all the zeros: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, ...
