Units

Flashcard 1
kilo (k)
= 1000 = 10³
➡ Divide by 1000 (from base unit → kilo)
Example: grams → kilograms
1000 g ÷ 1000 = 1 kg

Flashcard 2
hecto (h)
= 100 = 10²
➡ Divide by 100
Example: meters → hectometers

Flashcard 3
deka (da)
= 10 = 10¹
➡ Divide by 10
Example: liters → dekaliters

Flashcard 4
unit (base unit)
= 1 = 10⁰
➡ No change
Examples: gram, meter, liter, mole, volt

Flashcard 5
deci (d)
= 0.1 = 10⁻¹
➡ Multiply by 10
Example: liters → deciliters

Flashcard 6
centi (c)
= 0.01 = 10⁻²
➡ Multiply by 100
Example: meters → centimeters

Flashcard 7
milli (m)
= 0.001 = 10⁻³
➡ Multiply by 1000
Example: grams → milligrams

Flashcard 8
micro (μ)
= 0.000001 = 10⁻⁶
➡ Multiply by 1,000,000
Example: meters → micrometers

Flashcard 9
nano (n)
= 0.000000001 = 10⁻⁹
➡ Multiply by 1,000,000,000
Example: seconds → nanoseconds

Flashcard 10
pico (p)
= 10⁻¹²
➡ Multiply by 1,000,000,000,000
Example: liters → picoliters
