For example, 0.001 meter equals one millimeter, (1,000 Common prefixes for positive exponents include the following. prefix milli- micro- nano- name thousandth Meanwhile, exponents Examples: millionth billionth exponent The recommended dose of this medicine is 5 milligrams (5 x 10- g). A typical red-blood cell is a disk roughly 7 micrometers (7 x 10-6 g) in diameter. Light can travel 30 cm (about one foot) in one nanosecond (10-9 s). still add when multiplying powers of ten.
