Definition for metric prefix
A metric prefix is a symbol or set of letters placed before a unit of measurement to indicate a multiple or fraction of the unit. Derived from the metric system, these prefixes make it easier to express measurements in a more precise and convenient way. For example, the prefix kilo- represents a multiplier of 1,000, so when added to a unit like meter, it becomes kilometer which is equal to 1,000 meters. Similarly, the prefix milli- denotes a fraction, meaning that one millimeter is equal to one-thousandth of a meter. These prefixes enable scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to work with large or small quantities without having to write out the full measurement each time.
