    Prefixes to abbreviations for the names of metric units

    Multiples and sub-multiples of metric units are indicated by the following prefixes or
    symbols:

    tera T 1012
    giga G 109
    mega M 106
    kilo k 103
    hecto h 102

    pico P 10-12

    Examples:

    I MW (megawatt) = 10 6 W (watt)

    I kgf (kilogramme-force) = 103 gf (gramme-force)

    I pF (picofarad) = 10-12 F (farad)
