3. Prefixes of technical units
✔ To form multiples or sub-multiples of a base unit,
simply add the desired prefix/symbol in front of
it. .
To multiply the unit volt by 1000: kilo + volt =
kilovolt and k + V = kV.
To divide the unit volt by 1000: milli + volt
= millivolt and m + V = mV.
4 These prefixes can also be used with non-SI
units:
millibar, kilocalorie, megaton, hectoliter, etc
✔ For historical reasons, the name of the basic unit
of mass has a prefix: kilogram. For this reason,
multiples and submultiples of this unit are
formed using the gram.
