Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that metric prefixes are used to denote powers of ten to simplify expressing very large or very small quantities.
Identify the power of ten associated with each prefix: 'kilo' corresponds to \$10^{3}$, 'centi' corresponds to \(10^{-2}\), 'giga' corresponds to \$10^{9}$, and 'mega' corresponds to \$10^{6}$.
Compare the given options to the power of ten \$10^{6}$ to find the matching prefix.
Recognize that 'mega' is the prefix that corresponds exactly to \$10^{6}$.
Therefore, the correct metric prefix for \$10^{6}$ is 'mega'.
