Understanding the International System of Units (SI) Prefixes

In the SI metric system (governed by BIPM and NIST), prefixes represent strict orders of magnitude in base-10 exponential factors:

Prefix Symbol Scientific Notation Decimal Value Relation to 1 Unit
Giga G \(10^{9}\) 1,000,000,000 1 Billion units
Mega M \(10^{6}\) 1,000,000 1 Million units
Kilo k \(10^{3}\) 1,000 1 Thousand units
Micro µ \(10^{-6}\) 0.000001 1 Millionth of a unit
Nano n \(10^{-9}\) 0.000000001 1 Billionth of a unit
Pico p \(10^{-12}\) 0.000000000001 1 Trillionth of a unit

Because the difference between micro (\(10^{-6}\)) and nano (\(10^{-9}\)) is exactly \(10^3\) (\(1,000\)):
