Answer:

Multiply the value given in milli by 10⁻⁹ to get value in Mega.

Explanation:

A milli is a unit prefix applied in metric system of measurement to mean a factor of one thousandth (10⁻³).

A mega is a unit prefix applied in metric system of measurement to mean a factor of 1 million (10⁶).

To convert milli to mega, you should remember that;

1 mega M= 1,000,000,000 milli, m

Hence to convert a milli to Mega you will divide the value of milli given by 1,000,000,000
