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'.
