Unfortunately, many of the derived units are somewhat cumbersome for everyday use but we can make life a little easier by using the standard range of multiples and sub-multiples shown in the table below.

| Tera | T | 1012 (=1,000,000,000,000) |
| Giga | G | 109 (=1,000,000,000) |
| Mega | M | 106 (=1,000,000) |
| Kilo | k | 103 (=1,000) |
| (none) | (none) | 100 (=1) |
| Centi | c | 10-2 (=0.01) |
| Milli | m | 10-3 (=0.001) |
| Micro | μ | 10-6 (=0.000,001) |
