Do share it with anyone you think will benefit from this mnemonic. Do that on both sides, except you place negative sign (-) on the right hand side (refer to the image, it’ll make more sense). Powers of Ten Multiple Prefix Symbol Common Name (10 ) anton A antonplex (10 ) - googolplex 10 - googol 10 yotta Y heptillion 10 zetta Z hexillion. So, here goes, the mnemonic I created for the 12 prefixes in sequence:Īs for the exponent value, just start with 0 at base. Then, the rest are 1 lower case letter (k, h, d, c, m, n, p), except deca (da) and micro (μ).

The first three (Tera, Giga, Mega) are abbreviated with 1 upper case letter (T, G and M, respectively). Here’s the thing, each of these prefixes have their own abbreviation/symbol. – Tera – Giga – Mega – kilo – hecto – deca – deci – centi – mili – micro – nano – pico – To alleviate this ambiguity, prefixes for binary multiples have been adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for use in information technology. Thus, one kilobit, or 1 kbit, is 1000 bit and not 2 bit.

So, here we go, introducing the 12 prefixes: Power of Ten (GOG) Free Download A single starfighter trying to save as many civilians as possible before they are overrun by a destructive armada. Power-of-10 multipliers are also used to define binary data speeds. Because the SI prefixes strictly represent powers of 10, they should not be used to represent powers of 2. That’s why I developed a mnemonic to help them memorize all 12 prefixes they need for the course. Need to convert between prefixes like from picosecond to microsecond? Or kilometer to milimeter? Do you need to memorize the SI prefixes? Find it difficult to remember the letters/symbols, sequence and exponent value? If you answered yes, then you are not alone.
