Note also that the largest SI prefix is "yotta-" which is 1 × 10 24. Note in the table below, there is some controversy over the exact values of some of these figures. Once you've calculated such-and-such has so many joules of energy, this table will give you various energetic events to compare it to.

Decimilli or Dimi is an obsolete prefix meaning 10 -4.Myria or Myrio is an obsolete prefix meaning 10 4 (ten thousand).Hebdo is an obsolete prefix meaning 10 7.Micromicro is an obsolete term for pico (10 -12), commonly found in micromicrofarads or μμF.Kilomega is an obsolete term for giga (10 9), commonly found in kilomegatons for nuclear weapons.Millimicro or mμ is an obsolete term for nano (10 -9).Hella is a tongue-in-cheek unofficial prefix proposed by Austin Sendek for 10 27.Ronna and quecca are unofficial prefixes proposed by Richard J.C.Spellings may vary, but its official symbol is always da, not dk. The deca prefix is sometimes written deka and is abbreviated dk.Also by the United Kingdom prior to 1974 Footnotes Also by the United Kingdom after to 1974 Long Scale used by most countries in continental Europe and most that are French, Spanish, and Portuguese speaking.

Short Scale used by most English-speaking countries. value, expanded value The value of the prefix, written in an abbreviated matter and then expanded. For instance, one would write MJ for megajoule.

symbol The symbol of the prefix, to be used in conjunction with the symbol for a unit, following the rules above. For instance, prepending the prefix mega to the SI unit joule gives the word megajoule. Legend prefix The name of the prefix, which is prepended directly before a unit name with no spaces.
