Ok here's the format I am using: Scientific prefix, scientific symbol, words, scientific notation, full number.



Giga- G Billion 10^9 1 000 000 000

Mega- M Million 10^6 1 000 000

Kilo- k Thousand 10^3 1 000

Hecto- h Hundred 10^2 100

Deca- da Ten 10^1 10

starting poing (no symbol) 1

Deci- d Tenth 10^-1 0.1

Centi- c Hundredth 10^-2 0.01

Milli- m Thousandth 10^-3 0.001

Micro- m Millionth 10^-6 0.000 001

Nano- n Billionth 10^-9 0.000 000 001



Those are pretty much all the ones you'll ever need to know. Hope that helps.

I do this (its soo much easier!)



Millimeters ---> Meters

Meters ----> Kilometers...



Ex:



10 millimeters ----> .0010 meters

.0010---->.0000010 kilmoeters



Is that right? Cuz personally it doesn't look like it...haha...

also..in greek/latin root/prefixes... "kilo" means thousand, so basically one kilometer is 1000 meters.

oh oh!!



Okay!



Kilo Hecto Deca (Meter, Liter, Gram) Deci Centi Milli



Take the number that you originally have and put a decimal after it if the number decreases...



for example



5 Kilograms = ___ milligrams



so, you would have 5.



then you count down the chart until you hit milli which is 7 spaces so...



5 kilograms = 50000000 milligrams
