Metric Units - Factor to Prefix (Common) (Level 1)

This math topic involves identifying metric unit prefixes that correspond to specific multiplication factors. The problems require matching common metric prefixes like milli, centi, deca, hecto, and kilo with numerical factors such as 0.001, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 1,000, and 0.01. Each question presents a different factor, and the learner must select the correct prefix from multiple options. This set of problems helps practice understanding and applying the metric system's standard prefixes to describe quantities.
