    Units of logarithmic frequency ratio include the octave, corresponding to a factor of 2 in frequency (precisely) and the decade, corresponding to a factor 10. The ISQ recognizes another logarithmic quantity, information entropy, for which the coherent unit is the natural unit of information (symbol nat). [citation needed]

    The unit one (1) is the unit of a quantity of dimension one. It is the neutral element of any system of units. [2] In addition to the unit one, the SI defines 7 base units and associated symbols: The second (s) is the unit of time. The metre (m) is the unit of length. The kilogram (kg) is the unit of mass. The ampere (A) is the unit of electric ...

    A derived unit is used for expressing any other quantity, and is a product of powers of base units. For example, in the modern metric system, length has the unit metre and time has the unit second, and speed has the derived unit metre per second. [5]: 15 Density, or mass per unit volume, has the unit kilogram per cubic metre. [5]: 434
