—More on Metic Prefixes | Wikipedia—
A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or fraction of the unit. While all metric prefixes in common use today are decadic, historically there have been a number of binary metric prefixes as well.[1] Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to the unit symbol. The prefix kilo-, for example, may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand: one kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. The prefix milli-, likewise, may be added to metre to indicate division by one thousand; one millimetre is equal to one thousandth of a metre.

Decimal multiplicative prefixes have been a feature of all forms of the metric system with six dating back to the system's introduction in the 1790s. Metric prefixes have even been pre-pended to non-metric units. The SI prefixes are standardized for use in the International System of Units (SI) by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in resolutions dating from 1960 to 1991.[2] Since 2009, they have formed part of the International System of Quantities.

BAE THANK U SM ALL MY TEACHER DOES IS BREATHE LOUDLY INTO THE MIC AND I HAVE A QUIZ TMRW 🤧🙏

[Ariasosaxo]

My proff took 2 lectures to explain and still managed to confuse everyone. Thank you so much.

[Amada__]

Ty for saving my life

I swear the textbooks just converted and never explained and it looked so simple but I was still so confused and this broke it down perfectly. Thanks!!

[aphidsfirst]

Thank you so much for posting this. This was one of the first lessons in chemistry, which I was not getting at all until seeing your video, and my teacher continues to give us problems that require conversions and I'm getting them every time. You have saved my grade.

[elcamino]

I've seen too many "methods" and "explanations" for prefix conversion. Thanks so much for posting. This makes sense!

[melkinz]

Holy crap! After going through several YouTube videos and meeting with my professor to explain the metric system, you by FAR explained it so I can understand. Thank you, thank you, thank

[mlenny]

My teacher taught us this topic awhile ago and I was left dumbfounded. Finally I get it and I'm just so happy I found this video!! Thank you so much!!

[ms-ficg]

Wow, out of the 20 videos regarding metric conversion your method is the one I'm going with, took me 2-3 tries but I got it now no problem, thank you!

[Taiyella]

Spending an hour trying to find this video after a year was actually well worth it. Only method that works for me Thank you!

[wackyweirdochic]

Wow, of all the times I've encountered SI Conversions and repeatedly failed to understand the topic, you broke it down the best for me to finally understand it once and for all! Thanks so much!

[MissGood]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You've saved my life!

[firstsinpride]

wish my teacher made videos like this for people who forgot the subject entirely. Nobody asks questions and I'm sure its because they are to shy. anyways thanks for making this video it helps lots.

[vjay]

thank for this!!! finally someone who clearly explains and visualizes that a prefix can be attached to any base (gram/ meter)!!

[AyoDV-]

This is so much easier than the 2 step conversion my professor is teaching us. Thank you!

[lumen]

out of almost 5 vids I watch, this is the only one I understand, I spent 3 hours with the other vids and all it took for me to understand this from his vid is thank you so much

[calebpowell]

i was really confused on these prefixes thanks for the help man.

[akashshete]

This is the first time I liked all the comments because the video was just awesome. My lol teacher was still confusing me. But I am just cleared now. Thanks sir.🙏🙏🙏😃

[mac]

Thank you so much!! I've been struggling to understand how to do this and have watch so many other videos, yours made to so simple and easy to understand!! THANK YOU!!

[whirrrl]

Awesome. Your method works beautifully. Far far far beyond what I was taught. Thank you so much!

[allisongrimsted]

5 years after taking your class and your videos are still very helpful! Thanks, DW!!
