  2. Mega- - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega-

    When units occur in exponentiation, such as in square and cubic forms, any multiples-prefix is considered part of the unit, and thus included in the exponentiation.. 1 Mm 2 means one square megametre or the size of a square of 1 000 000 m by 1 000 000 m or 10 12 m 2, and not 1 000 000 square metres (10 6 m 2).

  3. Micro- - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-

    Micro (Greek letter μ, mu, non-italic) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 106 (one millionth). [1] It comes from the Greek word μικρός (mikrós), meaning "small".

  4. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    In mathematics, a power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power ) of ten.

    64 (2 6) and 729 (3 6) cubelets arranged as cubes (2 2 3 and 3 2 3, respectively) and as squares (2 3 2 and 3 3 2, respectively) In arithmetic and algebra the sixth power of a number n is the result of multiplying six instances of n together. So: n 6 = n × n × n × n × n × n.

  7. Micrometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometre

    The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; [1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, [2] is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equalling 1 × 106 metre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 106); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a ...

  8. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Because superscript exponents like 10 7 can be inconvenient to display or type, the letter "E" or "e" (for "exponent") is often used to represent "times ten raised to the power of", so that the notation m E n for a decimal significand m and integer exponent n means the same as m × 10 n. For example 6.022 × 10 23 is written as 6.022E23 or 6 ...

  9. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The micrometre (SI symbol: μm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 106 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 ⁠ m = 0. 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists some items with lengths between 106 and 10 −5 m (between 1 and 10 micrometers, or μm). ~0.7–300 μm – wavelength of infrared radiation
