The following chart indicates SI prefixes that may be used on a broad range of consumer commodity labels: ::: {width="100%"} ::: {.gpotbl_div} Prefix Symbol Multiplying factor 1 Kilo- k x 10 3 Deca- da × 10 Deci- d × 10−1 Centi- c × 10−2 Milli- m × 10−3 Micro- µ × 10−6 ::: ::: {.table_foot} 1 10 2=100; 10 3=1000; 10−1=0.1; 10−2=0.01. Thus, 2 kg=2 × 1000 g=2000 g, and 3 cm=3 × 0.01 m=0.03 m. ::: :::
