This table shows the common prefixes. Others, from 10-24 to 1024 are acceptable for use of the SI. See NIST SP 330. Table 2. SI Prefixes. Prefixes produce units that are of an appropriate size for the application, e.g., millimeter for measurement of the dimensions of small screws, or kilometer for the measurement of distances on maps.

Temperature. Temperature is a special case in which temperature scales are very different, so, you need to do multiple operations to convert from metric (Celsius) to Imperial (Fahrenheit) and vice versa. If you know °F, use the equation in the third column to convert to °C.

Derived Unit. The preferred abbreviation for Liter is L, but l is also accepted. (L is used because many fonts use the same character for lower case l and the number one. So, the upper case L minimizes confusion,) Greek Prefixes. kilo = 1000 centi = 1/100 milli = 1/1000 .
