Frequently Asked Questions
How do SI prefixes relate to powers of ten?
SI metric prefixes step by powers of 1,000 (10³). Each positive prefix multiplier (kilo 10³, mega 10⁶, giga 10⁹, tera 10¹²) increases by three orders of magnitude, while submultiples (milli 10⁻³, micro 10⁻⁶, nano 10⁻⁹) decrease by three orders of magnitude.
Can SI prefixes be combined (compound prefixes)?
No. Under international SI standards (CGPM / BIPM), compound prefixes are strictly prohibited. You must use a single prefix representing the combined power of ten (e.g., use nanosecond, never millimicrosecond).
Why is case sensitivity critical for prefix symbols?
Prefix symbols are case-sensitive. For example, lowercase ‘m’ denotes milli (10⁻³ = 0.001), while uppercase ‘M’ denotes mega (10⁶ = 1,000,000). Confusing case results in a billion-fold error.
