A prefix (also known as a metric prefix) is a name or associated symbol that precedes a unit of measure (or its symbol) to form a decimal multiple or submultiple. Prefixes are used to reduce the quantity of zeroes in numerical equivalencies. For instance, 1000 meters can be written as 1 kilometer, using the prefix kilo, a symbol to represent the number 1000. |
