Question

Which of the following prefixes represents the largest value? 1:giga 2:hector 3:kilo 3:milli

Answer 1

1 giga stands for 1,000,000,000, 1 billion.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giga is a unit prefix in a metric system which denotes the factor of a billion or ten raised to power nine.

`Giga=1,000,000,000=10^9`

Hecto is a unit prefix in a metric system which denotes the factor of a hundred or ten raised to power two.

`Hecto=100=10^2`

Kilo is a unit prefix in a metric system which denotes the factor of a thousand or ten raised to power three.

`Kilo=1,000=10^3`

Milli is a unit prefix in a metric system which denotes the factor of a one by thousandth ten raised to power minus 3.

`milli=(1)/(1000)=10^(-3)`

Giga> Kilo>Hecto>Milli

Hence,the correct answer is option 1.
