![]() So this can help you memorize all of the metric prefixes from the largest one to the smallest one in order. Terribly Gigantic Monsters Killed One Million Men Napping Peacefully.Īll right, so again, terribly gigantic monsters killed one million men napping peacefully. The mnemonic I can use to memorize the metric prefixes in this order is: So you go from 12 to 9 to 6 to 3 to zero and on. You notice that all of these prefixes go in order of three. Nano, lowercase N, ten to a negative nine.Īnd finally, Pico, lowercase P, ten to a negative twelve. Micro, denoted by μ, ten to the negative six. This means that there is 1,000 millimeters in one meter. Milli, lowercase M, ten to a negative three. Mega, denoted by capital M, ten to the six.Īnd if you have nothing, then that’s just one, so you don’t put anything in front of just a meter. We have Giga, denoted by capital G, ten to the nine. We have Tera, denoted by capital T, which is ten to the twelve. And if you put a K in front of a meter then you have a kilometer, and a kilometer is 1,000 meters. So for instance, a meter is a unit of distance. So essentially metric prefixes are letters that you add to the beginning of units to modify them. We can see here we have all the names and the abbreviations in parentheses, as well as what those values mean. So now let’s take a look at the metric prefixes you need to know for the exam. Today we have a physics mnemonic for you, and it’s on metric prefixes.Īnd this will actually help you with not just physics problems on the MCAT, but also general chemistry questions as well.
