What are the Prefixes?

These questions will test your knowledge of prefixes.

In the table below, you are given a prefix. You then have to fill in the abbreviation for that prefix (which you can get the table you saw earlier) and the decimal multiplier that the prefix represents. In other words, what does the prefix multiply the base unit by?

After filling in all the boxes, click on the button at the bottom of the screen. The page will redisplay, except that any incorrect answers will have disappeared! You can then keep trying to fill in the right answers, or give up, as you wish.

Warning: Express whole numbers (such as 4) without the decimal point and begin answers between 0 and 1 with a "0."
